Automate Selenium scripts to run every 15 mins?

Question

i have written a script using Selenium Webdriver. Just wanted to know if there is a way to make this script run every 15mins?

Like if i schedule it for 1 hour, Scripts should run every 15 mins and at the end of 1 hour it should post the results to an excel sheet. Can someone pls help me on this?

Are you aware of jenkins? if yes, it can make your job much easier by using cron, else, you can write custom code for this(I can help in this) — Anil Chandna, Mar 09 '15 at 12:53

As you are a beginner, so I am trying to provide you a very easy solution, might be not very much efficient.

static Timer timer = new Timer();
timer.scheduleAtFixedRate(new TimerTask() {
              @Override
              public void run() {
                // Your database code here
                  if(i==4){
                      timer.cancel();
                      timer.purge();
                  }
                  try {
                    execute();
                } catch (InterruptedException e) {
                    // TODO Auto-generated catch block
                    e.printStackTrace();
                }
                  i++;

              }
            }, 0, 1*1000);

In Code, 1*1000 denotes like, after how many seconds , you want to execute your code. execute() -- will have your code to be run i :- number of times, you want to repeat your test in your case i=4 timeRate should be :- 15*60*1000

Crontab is the best thing to do this job. Write a selenium script and run for every 15 min using crontab. Refer this link to run it for every 15 min.

How would I get a cron job to run every 30 minutes?

Jenkins or Hudson would be the ideal candidates to host this.
