Run Mode

View as Markdown

Run Mode controls whether tests in a group execute at the same time or one after another. By default, groups run concurrently.

Concurrent (default)

Tests are eligible to run together, subject to your workspace’s concurrent-run limit. Extra tests stay queued until capacity becomes available; Free workspaces execute one run at a time. Each test runs independently with no ordering guarantee. Best for groups where tests do not share state or depend on each other.

If the group has a preparation test, it must pass before the other tests start, in either run mode.

Sequential

Tests run one at a time, in the order shown in the group. The next test becomes eligible only after the previous one finishes and still waits for workspace capacity. A failed test or an execution crash cancels the remaining tests. A blocked or individually cancelled test allows the sequence to continue.

Use this mode when tests share application data or target an environment that cannot handle parallel sessions. Each test still gets its own browser or device session; use a preparation test for supported session reuse.

Set up Run Mode

  1. Open Project → Tests tab.
  2. Pick the group in the Test library rail on the left.
  3. In the Run tests row under the group name, open the first menu (it reads Sequentially or Concurrently) and pick the mode you want.

The change saves as soon as you pick it. Concurrent is the default.

Reorder tests

When a group is set to Sequential, a drag handle appears next to each test. Drag tests to reorder them. Changes save instantly.
