About the Test Templates Page

To access this page, click Inventory > Active Assurance > Test Templates.

Test templates enable you to create customized Test templates and reuse these templates while creating Tests. Test templates eliminate the need to manually configure Task parameters and metrics evaluation criteria each time you create a Test. Instead, you can select an existing Test template and run a Test.

You (superusers or network administrators) can use the Test Templates page to view a list of Test templates in your organization. You can also create, clone, and delete Test templates. In addition, you can edit the name, tags, and description of a Test template.
