# Test Scheduling

\
When it comes to test planning, test scheduling is one of the key items. It’s also important for [creating a robust test plan](https://loadium.com/blog/part-1-how-to-create-a-robust-test-plan) suitable for the Software Testing Life Cycle (STLC).<br>

Thanks to Loadium, you can easily create a test schedule for your tests in a few steps. In this article, you will learn how to create test schedule for your tests.<br>

1. In the test creating page (also in the test editing page) click on “Scheduling” tab.

On this screen, you can create a daily, weekly, monthly and custom schedule for your test.

4. In the “Weekly” tab, you need to select the days and time you want to run your test.
