# Execution

- [Execution Overview](https://learning.contextqa.com/execution/execution.md): Run, schedule, and monitor test executions across browsers and environments — with parallel runs, video evidence, and full execution traceability.
- [Running Tests](https://learning.contextqa.com/execution/running-tests.md): Run individual ContextQA tests or test plans, monitor live case and plan execution, stop active plans, review results, and trigger runs through MCP.
- [Debugging Tests](https://learning.contextqa.com/execution/debugging-tests.md): Use the interactive debugger to step through test cases, set breakpoints, inspect live variables, capture video, review AI agent steps, and modify steps mid-session in ContextQA.
- [Parallel Execution](https://learning.contextqa.com/execution/parallel-execution.md): Configure parallel nodes in a ContextQA test plan, compare running work with organization capacity, and monitor cases waiting in the execution queue.
- [Running Tests Across Multiple Browsers](https://learning.contextqa.com/execution/cross-browser-testing.md): Run the same ContextQA test suite on Chrome, Firefox, and Safari in a single cross-browser test plan, then compare per-browser results to catch browser-specific failures before release.
- [Environments](https://learning.contextqa.com/execution/environments.md): How to create and manage environment configurations in ContextQA, including base URLs, encrypted parameters, variable usage in test steps, and environment selection at execution time.
- [Scheduling](https://learning.contextqa.com/execution/scheduling.md): How to create, configure, and manage recurring test schedules in ContextQA using frequency options, and how scheduled results surface through email and Slack notifications.
- [Tutorial: Build and Schedule a Regression Suite](https://learning.contextqa.com/execution/regression-suite-tutorial.md): Group ContextQA tests into a regression suite, build and validate a test plan, then configure repeatable execution and failure notifications.
- [Video & Screenshots](https://learning.contextqa.com/execution/video-and-screenshots.md): Test execution video recording and screenshots in ContextQA — every run produces a complete evidence package including WebM video, HAR, and Playwright trace.
- [Interactive Demo](https://learning.contextqa.com/execution/demo.md): Explore a live test execution run — step-by-step results, per-step screenshots, console logs, network traces, and AI root cause analysis, all captured automatically.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://learning.contextqa.com/execution.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
