# Executing test sets manually

> Execute Test Manager or Orchestrator-linked test sets manually using the manual execution assistant.

Both Test Manager test sets and [test sets that have been linked from Orchestrator](https://docs.uipath.com/test-manager/automation-cloud/latest/user-guide/test-sets) can be executed manually if manual steps have been defined for the test cases.

## Prerequisites

* Manual steps are defined for the test cases.
* If you are using a pop-up blocker, configure it to allow the manual execution assistant window to open.

## Steps

1. Open your project in Test Manager.
2. Go to **Test Sets**.
3. Select **More Options** for the test set that you want to execute.
4. Select **Execute Manually**.
   :::tip
   Alternatively, open the test set, select **Execute**, and then select **Manually** from the dropdown list.
   :::
   :::note
   Automated test cases can have manual steps defined and can also be executed manually.
   :::

## Result

The manual execution assistant opens in a new window, and the results of the execution are recorded in the **Execution** section of the project.
