Article Summary

Thanks for sharing your feedback!

Whether a test is executed in parallel or sequentially depends on whether parallel test execution is enabled or disabled in Workspace settings, how the test is executed, and whether or not the data feature is used.
The following table shows how parallel or sequential test execution is applied.

Use of data	How the test is executed	If `Parallel test execution` is enabled in Workspace settings	If `Parallel test execution` is disabled in Workspace settings
Data table is not used	Click `Run now` in scenario	・If other tests are executed simultaneously => Parallel	・If other tests are executed simultaneously => Sequential
	Execute a test plan set to run in parallel	・Within the test plan => Parallel ・Multiple test plans => Parallel	・Within the test plan => Sequential ・Multiple test plans => Sequential
	Execute a test plan set to run sequentially	・Within the test plan => Sequential ・Multiple test plans => Parallel	・Within the test plan => Sequential ・Multiple test plans => Sequential

If Parallel test execution is set to Disable in your Workspace settings, the Run in: Parallel setting in the test plan does not apply. All tests will be executed sequentially.
