# Automated Test Queue

### From Execution → Visibility

The **Automated Test Queue** lets you track how your automated tests are executed in real time.

It shows what’s waiting, what’s running, and what just finished — all in one place.

The page is divided into two sections:

* **Test Queue** → tests waiting or currently running
* **Recently Finished** → latest completed executions

### Test Queue

The **Test Queue** displays all automated tests that are:

* Waiting for execution
* Being picked up by a runner
* Currently running

Once execution completes, tests move to **Recently Finished**.

#### **Execution States**

* **LookingForRunner** → waiting for an available runner
* **Starting** → runner assigned, preparing to start
* **Running** → test execution in progress
* **Postponed** → execution delayed

#### **Available Actions**

Right-click on a queued test to manage execution:

* **Postpone**
  * Delays execution
  * Available when state = *LookingForRunner*
* **Return to Queue**
  * Re-adds postponed test to queue
  * Available when state = *Postponed*
* **Cancel**
  * Stops execution
  * Removes test from queue

Refresh the page after actions to see updated state.

### Recently Finished

The **Recently Finished** section shows the latest executed automated tests.
