Pattern summary

In order to save time, run tests in parallel

Category

Execution

Description

Implementation

The first step is to write the tests as INDEPENDENT TEST CASES. Another good way to do this is to GET ON THE CLOUD

Potential problems

Be careful not to run the same tests in parallel!

Issues addressed by this pattern
