Overview
Executing scenarios can be done manually and as many times as needed, as described at Executing scenarios.
However, you may also choose to execute them by command prompt.
For instance, you could rely on the command line options to schedule automatic testing, and perform it without any user intervention (e.g, via a .bat file or a Windows task).
Before you start
Make sure you are familiar with the use of the command prompt and how to create batch files or schedule Windows tasks.

How to use these options?
In case you are not familiar with the command prompt, follow these steps to test the above options:
1. Open the command prompt (cmd.exe) with admin rights.
2. Browse into the folder where the Auto testing tool is located and into its App sub-folder, by using DOS commands such as:
