Scheduling a test

  • Article

Schedule a test in the Microsoft Azure Stack Validation portal for your Azure Stack Hub solution. A validation as a service (VaaS) solution represents an Azure Stack Hub solution with a particular hardware bill of materials (BoM). You can schedule a test to check that your hardware can run Azure Stack Hub.

To check your solution, create the workflow for a test. A VaaS workflow operates within the context of a VaaS solution. It represents a set of test suites that exercise the functionality of an Azure Stack Hub deployment on your hardware. Add your solution's environmental parameters and select one or more tests to run on your solution.

While the Test Pass workflow can be used to run any test provided by VaaS, including tests from the validation workflows, results from the Test Pass workflow aren't considered official. For information about official validation workflows, see Workflows.
