# Running Autonomous Test Execution

> Run a manual test case automatically with Autonomous Test Execution in Test Manager, using an AI model, optional live streaming, and Orchestrator credential references.

This task runs an existing manual test case automatically using Autopilot, instead of executing it by hand or building a scripted automation.

:::tip
Autonomous Test Execution can also be launched from a **Pending Execution** at the test case log level.
:::

## Prerequisites

* An unattended robot connected to Orchestrator in the same tenant, with access to the project's default folder.
* The `AssetsView` permission in Orchestrator, if the test case references credential assets.

## Steps

1. Log in to Test Manager.
2. Open a manual test case.
3. Go to the **Manual Steps** tab and select **Run with Autopilot** in the right-hand sidebar.
4. Enter the target application URL, such as an SAP instance URL for a non-web test or a project link for a web application. The field is not pre-filled with the test case value, and the **Run** button stays disabled until a URL is entered.
5. Add parameters or credentials as needed: enter `{{` in a step description to trigger autocomplete for parameters, or reference a credential asset with `{{credential:credentialName}}`.
6. Select an artificial intelligence (AI) model.
7. Optional: Enable live streaming.
8. Select **Run**.

:::note
Manual steps written for a human tester may not be unambiguous enough for the agent. Wording may need adjusting based on where a run fails before it executes reliably.

## Result

Autopilot executes the manual test case. While the run is in progress, it can be watched live, remote control can be taken if needed, and the run can be canceled.
