# Schedulers

In **QApilot**, you can schedule your test plans to automate their execution and monitor your application's performance over time. You can schedule them for specific times and dates or run them immediately. You can even set them to run at regular intervals. Scheduling your tests for regression outside of office hours is a valuable way to minimize production disruptions and ensure optimal resource usage. This guide will show you how to schedule a test plan in **QApilot**.

## Prerequisites

Before you schedule a test plan in **QApilot**, you must understand the concepts of creating the [Test Plan](/detailed-documentation/test-plan-executions.md).

3. Click the **Calendar** icon to choose the **Date and Time** for the scheduled execution of this test plan. You can change the default value, which is set to the current date. By default, it displays the current time, but you can change it to the desired time for executing the test plan.
4. Click **Repeat** to select the **Frequency** for executing the test plan. The available options are:
   * **Don't Repeat**
   * **Daily**
5. After applying the date and time configurations., click on the Save button. At the scheduled time, the tool will automatically initiate the test plan and run all specified tests.
