ATF Automated Test Framework - running multiple tests at once

[tufa4311a]

1. Can you run multiple tests at once with ATF?

2. Can server agents be used to run multiple tests or test suites at once?

The idea is if I have 400 tests to run I don;t have the time to wait for tests to run one at a time. Using other automation systems I can create "agents" on a server, basically virtual machines, that can all take a test case out of a queue at the same time, constantly taking the next available test case.

 I know Istanbul could not do this, can't find updated content for Madrid.

Found this which says same thing for Madrid - only one test at a time. Wonder if virtual agents could be set up on a server to run more than one test at a time? https://docs.servicenow.com/bundle/madrid-application-development/page/administer/auto-test-framewor...

Hi 

Curently (till Madrid) only one ATF test can be executed at a time in an instance. In New York, ATF will allow parallel executions.

And the Server Agents I mentioned? Can multiple server agents be set up to execute ATF tests - this way each agent is only running one at a time but with multiple agents more than one test is running at a time?

Hi @Ankush Agrawal ,

we are in new york and is there any way we can run multiple TEST's parallely.

Use case is , we have 20 tests and want to run them parallel, not sequential.

Kindly help.

Thank you,
