| 38 | +:::info BETA |
| 39 | +The feature is currently in **BETA**. |
| 40 | +::: |
| 41 | + |
| 42 | +Debugging test failures often involves **identifying the root cause, fixing the issue, and rerunning tests to validate the fix**. However, in large test suites with hundreds or thousands of tests, rerunning the entire job consumes significant time and resources. |
| 43 | + |
| 44 | +To address this, HyperExecute supports Rerun Job functionality, a feature that allows you to rerun only the failed scenarios or all the scenarios directly from the dashboard, drastically reducing your feedback loop and helping you validate the fixes faster. |
| 45 | + |
| 46 | +## Prerequisites |
| 47 | +To rerun a job, the following requirements must be fulfilled. |
| 48 | + |
| 49 | +- Your test suite should be available on **Git** (Github and Bitbucket are supported) and linked to a [Project](/support/docs/hyperexecute-projects). This is required because each time a job is rerun, HyperExecute needs access to your test suite. |
| 50 | +- Make sure you are using **YAML version 0.1** with auto-split mode and discovery mode as local only. |
| 51 | + |
| 52 | +> Support for YAML version 0.2 and other modes will be added soon. |
| 53 | +
|
| 54 | +:::note |
| 55 | +You can use the rerun feature for jobs started from your **local machine as long as Git info is available** (i.e., you’re running tests from a cloned Git repo). |
| 56 | + - Make sure the project details are set in your job’s YAML, and the project is linked to the same Git repo you’re running from. |
| 57 | + - If your local repo has uncommitted changes (a “dirty” working tree), rerun will not work. Commit or stash your changes before running the job. |
| 58 | +::: |
| 59 | + |
| 60 | +## Why Use Rerun Feature? |
| 61 | +Consider a scenario where you’ve executed 1000 tests in a single HyperExecute job, and 50 tests failed due to a bug, either in your test code, infrastructure, or application under test. Previously, you were bound to run the complete job again which would have taken a lot more time (as you would have run the passed tests too) to check if the previously failed tests are passing or not. With **Rerun Job Feature**, your whole process is streamlined as given below: |
| 62 | + |
| 63 | +**View failed scenarios -> Identify the fix via AI RCA -> Apply your fix and deploy -> Rerun only failed scenarios of the job** |
| 64 | + |
| 65 | +### Benefits |
| 66 | +- **Faster feedback loop:** Rerun only what matters (failed scenarios), so you confirm fixes quickly instead of re-running the full suite. |
| 67 | + - **Reproducible results:** Reruns always use the same YAML as the original job, even when you choose the latest commit, ensuring consistent environment settings. |
| 68 | + - **Better flaky test diagnosis:** By rerunning only the failed scenarios on the same configuration, it’s much easier to distinguish genuine regressions from flaky tests. |
| 69 | +## Rerun Configuration Options |
| 70 | +HyperExecute provides you flexibility to select different parameters while rerunning the job. |
| 71 | +- **Failed or All Scenarios:** You can rerun only the failed scenarios or all scenarios of that job. |
| 72 | +- **Using Same or Latest Commit:** You can reuse the same commit as the original job or the latest commit from your repository. This lets you rerun after fixing your test suite or application under test. |
| 73 | +- **Adjusting Concurrency:** The **YAML remains the same** for the rerun and the original job to maintain the same environment, but you can change the concurrency on which the rerun job will run. |
| 74 | + |
| 75 | +> If there are multiple test cases under a failed scenario, all those test cases will be rerun if the scenario is marked as failed. |
| 76 | +
|
| 77 | +## How to Rerun a Job |
| 78 | +**Step 1 :** Go to the **Jobs** section in the HyperExecute dashboard. <br /> |
| 79 | +**Step 2 :** Open the job you want to rerun and click the **Rerun** button in the top bar. <br /> |

| 82 | +<br /><br /> |
| 83 | + |
| 84 | +**Step 3 :** In the Rerun dialog: |
| 85 | +- Select the **commit** you want to use (same commit as the original job or the latest commit from the repo). |
| 86 | +- Optionally adjust the **concurrency** for the rerun. |
| 87 | +Then click **Rerun** to start the new job. |
