   Configuration Item	Mandatory	Description
   Agent Pool	Yes	By default, the default agent pool is selected.
   ID	No	Enter 1 to 128 characters.

   Environment Parameters	No	Environment parameters can be referenced by parameters, checkpoints, variables, and URLs of test steps in the entire project.
   Max. Duration	Yes	The longest time taken for executing a test case. Cases exceeding this limit will fail. The task continues until the last case is complete.
   Overwrite Test Suite Parameters	No	You can set advanced parameters for a test suite, and overwrite global parameters in a test suite. A maximum of three global parameters can be overwritten.
   Execute	Yes	There are two types. By default, the task is executed only once. Once: The test suite is executed only once. Regularly: After you set an execution frequency, the test suite is executed periodically. Set this parameter to daily.
   Start	Yes	There are two execution modes. By default, the task is executed immediately. Immediately: The task is executed immediately after it is executed. At specific time: The task is executed after a specified time.
   Sequence	Yes	There are two modes. The default mode is Serial. Serial: Test cases in the API test suite are executed in serial mode. Parallel: Test cases in the API test suite are executed in parallel mode.
