# Trigger a test run

`POST /v1/tests/{testId}/runs`

Trigger a saved dashboard test remotely using API-key authentication. Returns the queued run ID.

## Path parameters

- `testId` string, uuid, required

## Headers

- `Authorization` string, required

## Request body

- object
  - `mode` 'fast' | 'deep'
  - `platform` 'web' | 'ios' | 'android' — Run platform for the test. Mobile tests default to ios when omitted, so Android runs must set platform: android — including when the mobile app is selected by appId.
  - `deviceModel` 'iphone' | 'ipad' — Mobile device variant within the run platform (iOS: iphone | ipad). Omit for the platform default phone-sized device; explicitly requesting the default (e.g. iphone) is equivalent to omitting it.
  - `appId` string, uuid
  - `projectEnvironmentId` string, uuid

## Response `202`
