Does Eclipse have the capability to do so? For example, can it run an automation test at 3:00 am without any tester?
To run automated tests on a schedule and unattended, the project has to be converted to use Maven.
Maven allows the automated tests to be run from command prompt without Eclipse.
Then, a Jenkins project is created and configured to run the automated tests on a schedule.
We will cover Maven in the last day and, if time allows, Jenkins as well.
