The Network Suite functionality is deprecated. We don’t recommend using it for distributed testing. Consider using a CI/CD system for managing distributed tests. See Migrating Distributed Tests to CI/CD Systems for details. In case you need to run web tests on multiple environments in parallel, you can also try using your project’s Execution Plan.

  // Obtains the task by its name
  Task = Tasks.ItemByName(TaskName);
  Task.Run(true);

}

Python

def Test():
  # Specifies the name of the job to which the task belongs
  JobName = "Job1"

  Tasks = NetworkSuite.Jobs.ItemByName[JobName].Tasks
  # Obtains the task by its name
  Task = Tasks.ItemByName[TaskName];
  Task.Run(True);

VBScript

  Set Task = Tasks.ItemByName(TaskName)
  Task.Run(True)

End Sub

DelphiScript

procedure Test();
var JobName, Tasks, TaskName, Task;
begin

  // Specifies the name of the job to which the task belongs
  JobName := 'Job1';

  TaskName := 'Task1';
  // Obtains the tasks that belong to the specified job
