Parallel runs

Why run tests in parallel?

You can run your tests in the cloud in parallel, which means that more than one test will be executed at the same time. Multiple tests will run simultaneously, resulting in up to 32x shorter testing time.

You can have up to 32 parallel runs, depending on your subscription plan.

Parallel testing pricing

In the PRO plan, you can run only one test in the cloud at the time, so there are no parallel runs available. Each parallel run capability costs an additional $80 per month. If billed yearly, you get a discount of about 15%. To turn on a Parallel plan, please contact us.

Number of parallel test runs	-	2	4	8	16	32
Billed monthly	$119	$199	$359	$679	$1,319	$2,599
Billed yearly	$99	$167	$303	$575	$1,119	$2,207

Enable parallel runs

1. Go to Suites view

2. Edit or create a suite

3. Change the option for Parallel cloud runs

When you trigger suite to run, your tests in that suite will run in parallel.

Parallel testing is only possible when tests are run in the cloud

Suites run in your local browser will always run sequentially because your browser cookies and storage are shared among all incognito windows, so only one test can be run at a time. All cloud runs can be performed in parallel, regardless of whether they are manually triggered or initiated via API.

Parallel runs within your organization

Parallel runs let you run more than 1 test at the same time. The number of tests you can simultaneously run within your organization depends on your subscription plan.

If you are using BugBug with a basic premium subscription, you can run tests in the cloud, but only 1 test can be in progress at the same time. If you have multiple projects and run tests at the same time, they will be queued, they won't run in parallel - they will be executed one by one.

To run more tests in parallel you need to upgrade to a higher plan. We support up to 32 parallel tests, if you want to enable them please contact us.
