Test runner pools are groups of test runners that can be assigned to a particular project.
You can manage your test runner pools in the Test Runner Pools section of TestFirst. Here you can add, edit or delete a test runner pool.
In order to open the Test runner pools page:
- Click the Automation item in the left menu panel. The menu will expand.
- Click the Test Runner Pools item under Automation. Test runner pools page will be displayed.
By default, a test runner pool named Default is created for your organization. You can update it to increase the max number of cloud test runners or limit the project it applies to, or create your own test runner pool. Find out how to do that further in this article.
The page is deivided into two parts, each represented by a table:
- Test runner pools
- Runners in the selected pool
