Williams has confirmed Susie Wolff's test schedule for the 2015 Formula 1 season.
The Scottish driver was promoted from development to test driver at the Grove-based outfit for this year.
Wolff has already sampled the Williams FW37. She was behind the wheel of the Mercedes-powered car on day one of the second winter test at the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya.
She will drive on one day of the in-season test in Austria, as well as first practice sessions for the Spanish and British GPs.
"Our focus this year is to build on the success of 2014 - I've been training hard all winter and I am physically in the best shape I’ve ever been, so I am ready for the season ahead," she said.
"As Official Test Driver I will have additional time in the FW37 and by correlating this with my work in the simulator, the team can ensure we are getting the best from the car and check how updates are performing.
"All of us drivers on the Williams roster have been working closely together on this and we are ready to give everything we can to the 2015 season."
Deputy team principal Claire Williams added: "Last season Susie impressed with her performances during FP1 at Silverstone and Hockenheim and we were keen to give her another chance to test in 2015.
"She knew the FW36 well and with the FW37 being a gradual evolution, we were keen to utilise this knowledge and get her in the car to help assess and validate the approaches we have taken."
