# Scheduled client test runner

The Scheduled Client Test Run opens a browser window for running scheduled client automated tests.

For information about scheduling automated tests, see [Schedule an automated test suite](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/application-development/automated-test-framework-atf/atf-sched-suite-steps.md) and [Working with scheduled test suites](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/application-development/automated-test-framework-atf/atf-sched-suites.md). You can toggle a client test runner to act as either a manual or scheduled client test runner.
