When there is a time constraint on the testing process, you might want to run more than one test at a time. In order to run multiple automated tests in parallel, you will need to configure multiple test runners. In order to do that:
- In the desktop app, go to Automation - Test Runner Pools. Right-click the runner pool you would like to increase the number of runners for, and click Edit in the context menu. Edit Test Runner Pool dialog will be displayed.
- In the Edit Test Runner Pool dialog, change the number in the Max Cloud Agents field to the desired number of test runners. Click SAVE. Now during a test plan execution, the number of cloud agents provisioned for a test plan run will be equal to the number of cloud agents you configured.
We do not recommend increasing the number of test runners if your test plan is small. The gain of parallel execution does not justify the time it takes to provision the extra runners in such cases. For best results, we do not recommend using more that 3-4 cloud agents per runner pool, even for bigger test plans. There is an upper limit for the number of cloud agents you can configure. The number cannot be higher than 10. |
