# Run Load Test

Once a load test is created, it is automatically added to the **All Tests** list. Newly created tests appear at the **top of the list** and are ready to be executed.

### Step-by-Step Execution Flow

1. **Test Creation Complete**\
   After clicking **Create Load Test**, the test is saved and you are redirected to the **All Tests** screen.
2. **Initial Test Status**\
   The newly created test appears with the status **Awaiting Execution**, indicating that the test is configured but has not yet started.
3. **Start Test Execution**\
   To begin execution, click **Run Load Test** for the selected test. Before starting a load test, users can optionally provide a **Run Name** and **Run Description** to help identify the execution.&#x20;

   Both fields are **optional** and can be updated after the test execution is completed using the **“Edit icon”**. The **Run** triggers the test execution workflow.

4. **Provisioning Progress**\
   Once the test execution is initiated, platform begins provisioning the load generators and preparing the test environment. During this process, a progress indicator is displayed which reflects the status of the provisioning and setup activities.
5. **Test Execution**\
   Once the test environment is successfully provisioned and configured, the load test execution starts automatically. The Real-Time Load Test Dashboard becomes available, enabling users to monitor execution progress and analyze performance metrics as the test runs.
