Re: [Check-users] Executing CHECK test cases in parallel

[Fredrik H. <fre...@ax...>]

As long as one does not rely on global resources in the tests, typically 
stuff that is set up in unchecked fixtures or before tests are run at 
all, it should be theoretically possible.

Only problem that needs to be adressed is result reporting that 
currently, as far as I can remember, is not done in a locked manner and 
therefore may mix different results and probably break.

/HUGO.
