How to use PractiTest Time Management:

1. 1. Test Library: When creating a new test or editing an existing test you can enter an estimated duration time. Use this as a set point for later comparison with the actual duration time which the Time Management feature will update once the test is run.

   2. Test Sets: Each test in the Test Set displays its estimated duration as well as the total estimate for the entire Test Set. The total estimate is the sum of all existing test times defined in the Test Library.

Please note that run duration should exceed 15 seconds to be recorded as an “Actual” duration.
