Japan Standard Time (JST) Test Execution

If your site or application has specific requirements based on the time in JST, or requires that devices that access it must be using JST, you can use JST test execution to test on Autify without issue.

Setting JST test execution as the default for your workspace

You can set JST as the default timezone for your workspace with the following steps.

1. Click Settings in the left-hand pane

2. Select your workspace under WORKSPACES

3. Check the Set the Run now function to use Browsers with JST option under Timezone

Using JST during test execution

You can choose to run your tests in JST in the same way you normally run your tests:

• Directly from the scenario editor

• As an environment in a test plan

• Using the Autify API

Using JST from the scenario editor

If you have set JST execution as the default in your workspace settings, you can run scenarios in JST by clicking the Run now (JST) button in the top right of the scenario editor.

Using JST in your test plan

The test plan UI displays timezone information in the names of each environment. Environments that support JST execution will have (JST) in their names, while environments that do not support JST execution will have (UTC) in their names.

If you want to use JST execution for an environment that is unsupported, please contact the support team with details about your needs.

If your default timezone is JST

If you have set JST execution as the default in your workspace settings, the UI will primarily display execution environments that use JST.

What about UTC execution?

Even if you’ve set JST as the default execution timezone, you can still choose UTC execution by selecting browsers and devices with (UTC) after their names. You can combine JST and UTC test execution in the same test plan.

If your default timezone is UTC

If you have not set JST execution as the default in your workspace settings, the UI will display all execution environments at a glance. To run a test in JST, simply choose an environment with (JST) in its name.

Using JST with the API

If you want to execute a scenario in JST, you can define the timezone capability when making an API request over https or the Autify CLI.

The API uses UTC by default

Even if you have enabled JST execution in your workspace settings, scenarios will be executed in UTC by default if you do not specify the timezone capability in your request.

Example using Autify CLI

The following is an example of an API request via Autify CLI that uses the timezone capability to run a test in JST.

Replace <WORKSPACE_ID> and <SCENARIO_ID> with the proper values for your test.

autify web api execute-scenarios --project-id '<WORKSPACE_ID>' --execute-scenarios-request '{
  "name": "Testing JST with the timezone capability",
  "capabilities": [
      {
          "os": "Linux",
          "browser": "Chrome",
          "timezone": "JST"
      }
  ],
  "scenarios": [
      {
          "id": <SCENARIO_ID>
      }
  ]
}'

Confirming which timezone your test was executed in

You can confirm the timezone of your test execution in the following locations in the UI.
