It continues running until you tell it to stop. I'd recommend at least 10 full tests to take place, but it's probably best to just leave it on over night.

System specs
Set it to run the extended test & the more you leave, the more chances it has to run into errors. If you leave it running for a few days & you have no errors, you can rest assured your ram is good.
