📦 Group Executions

Group Execution is the highest level of execution type in X-AutoMate.
Simply put, it allows you to group multiple executions together and run them as one package. Think of it like a folder that can contain other folders or files — this gives you an easy way to organize and manage complex testing pipelines.

A Group Execution can contain:

  • Single Execution Templates
  • DAG Templates
  • Other Subgroups

The main purpose is to execute a set of workflows or test runs in bulk, for example:

🧪 Running 20 DAGs together as part of a regression package.

📌 How to Create a Group Execution​

To create a Group Execution, go to:
/e2e/new_group_template

Important

Ensure that all templates (DAGs or Simple Executions) you want to use are already created and visible under the "Existing Templates" page.

You will need to:

  • Provide a name for the group
  • Optionally add tags and a description

🛠 Actions During Creation​

During group creation, you can:

  1. ➕ Add Runtime Variables (to group or subgroup)
  2. 📦 Add Template (Single Execution or DAG)
  3. 🗂 Add Subgroup (Nested groups)

You can also choose whether to receive notifications after execution.

🧠 You can nest templates up to 2 levels deep:

Main Group
├── Subgroup 1
│ ├── DAG Template A
│ └── DAG Template B
└── Subgroup 2
└── Sub-subgroup with Templates
Important

❌ More than 2 levels of nesting are not allowed.

Once the group is created, you’ll be redirected to the Templates page:

Here, you’ll also see:

  • DAG Templates
  • Simple Execution Templates
  • And your newly created Group Execution Templates
