Summary
This post details how to schedule load test execution within Azure DevOps pipelines. For cloud-based load tests, it describes creating a new build definition, setting up a generic service endpoint using a PAT or alternate credentials, and configuring 'Quick Load Test Task' and 'Load Test Task'. For on-premises load tests, it explains using the command-line executable 'mstest.exe' with various options like /TestContainer, /runconfig, and /resultsfile, and suggests using Windows Task Scheduler for automation.
