Clarification on Schedule

[Gavin]

When setting tests I can understand the idea behind them but say I set a schedule in the GUI Selector of between 3 and 4 am to run a test, how does the "Test Every" selection link into it.

Say I set this http://i.imgur.com/p2QYP.png then set this http://i.imgur.com/dqgW4.png which takes precedence?

What I want to do ideally is run a test once every day at 8am, then run it again at 1pm every day of the year. What's the easiest way to schedule this?

Schedule (http://i.imgur.com/p2QYP.png) just restricts test execution for some period of time.
On your screenshot there is no restricted days/time (all cells are green).
If you want to forbid test execution you need to mark cells and press "Uncheck" button.
In other words if you set test execution every hour, and select schedule with "red" cells marked for 03 hour. test will be executed every hour, except period from 03:00 to 03:59.

What I want to do ideally is run a test once every day at 8am, then run it again at 1pm every day of the year. What's the easiest way to schedule this?

So you want to run the test twice a day at 08:00 and at 13:00.
In such case, you may use schedule "By expression" instead of "Regular schedule" with expression like the following:
* * 08:00,13:00
