# Parallel Execution

⚠︎ Parallels are available on particular plans.

Parallel execution is available on ***[Autify Cloud environment]*** (Chrome/Linux and Edge(Chromium)/Windows Server 2019).

The maximum parallel number on Autify Cloud is 10 per workspace by default. If you would like to increase this number, please contact our Sales team.

## How to enable parallel execution

In order to use the ***[Parallel test execution]***, you can enable it from the left side menu ***[Settings]*** > ***[Workspace settings]***.

If you choose to ***[Disable]*** parallel execution, your tests will run one by one.

### Things to note when enabling parallel execution

By enabling parallel execution, it is possible that a test that depends on the execution order - for example, **Test Plan B fails unless Test Plan A is executed first - will fail.** Likewise, **if Test Plan A and Test Plan B are not expected to run at the same time**, this can also fail. Please be careful.

## How tests run in parallel

In Autify, requested tests run per ***[Scenario]***.

The diagram below shows how tests run when parallel execution is **1) Disabled** or **2) Enabled**.

![parallel-execution-en 1.svg](https://cdn.document360.io/a099d8a2-cfd2-42ca-9906-68b4a337f4a5/Images/Documentation/parallel-execution-en%20%281%29.svg?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-11-01T07%3A15%3A47Z&se=2026-11-01T08%3A15%3A47Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=MDXzAZNu8OKOEc0TxKUq2GuTtO4fUygTRettJIxacw0%3D)

**1) Parallel Execution Disabled:** Tests for all environments run one by one. No tests run at the same time on ***[Autify cloud environment]***. and the ***[external device farm environment].***

**2) Parallel Execution Enabled:** In ***[Autify cloud environment]***, 10 tests can run in parallel at maximum, and tests on the ***[external device farm environment]*** can also run at the same time, one by one.

### What will be the execution order when I specify multiple environments on a ***[Test Plan]*** in parallel execution?

Not defined. Tests start running as soon as each requested test environment is ready.

### When parallel execution is enabled, what happens if I request to run multiple ***[Test Plans]*** at the same time?

Tests run in parallel per ***[scenario]***, so if Test PlanA and Test Plan B were requested at the same time, it is possible that scenarios of A and that of B run in parallel.

### Can I change the maximum number of parallel execution?

If you would like to increase the number of parallel execution or enable parallel execution on the external device farm, feel free to [contact us](https://autify.com/contact)!
