# Snooze Tests

> Snoozing temporarily pauses test execution for a specified duration. This is useful when deploying new features, performing maintenance, or addressing known issues without cluttering your test results.

## How Snoozing Works

Tests can be snoozed for 1 day, 1 week, 1 month, a custom date/time, or indefinitely until manually unsnoozed.

<Warning>
  Snoozed tests and their dependencies will not run until the snooze period expires or is manually removed.
</Warning>

## What Gets Paused When You Snooze

When you snooze a test, the following are also paused:

* **Test execution in all contexts**: The snoozed test will not run in scheduled suites, test plans, or CI pipelines
* **Dependent child tests**: Any tests that depend on the snoozed test as a parent will also be snoozed
* **All automated triggers**: Scheduled runs, CI integrations, and test plan executions skip the snoozed test

<Note>
  Snoozed tests can still be triggered manually if you run that specific test individually (not if you run the full suite).
</Note>

## Impact on Dependencies

When you snooze a test that has dependencies:

* Child tests dependent on the snoozed parent test will not run
* The entire dependency chain below the snoozed test is paused
* This prevents failures from tests that depend on setup from the snoozed test

For more details on how dependencies work, see the [Dependencies](/authoring-tests/dependencies) section.

## Use Cases

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="Deploying New Features" icon="">
    Snooze tests that check features currently being deployed or updated. This prevents false failures during the deployment window.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Known Issues under Investigation" icon="">
    Temporarily snooze tests failing due to known bugs that are being addressed. This keeps your test results clean while fixes are in progress.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Maintenance Windows">
    Snooze tests during scheduled maintenance periods when the application or specific features are intentionally unavailable.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="A/B Testing Variations">
    Snooze tests for variations not currently active in your A/B testing setup.
  </Accordion>
