Overview
The Execution Behavior settings allow users to configure how test cases are executed, including concurrency control and retry behavior. These settings are available in the Run Settings modal when executing test sets or bulk test cases.
Max parallelism Purpose
Some Test Cases may impact shared application state or behavior, causing other tests to fail when run in parallel. This feature enables users to control execution concurrency to prevent flaky test failures caused by concurrent execution.
Settings overview
You can configure Max retries and Max parallelism in the Run modal, under Execution behavior.
Setting | Description | Default Value |
Max Retries | Maximum number of retries for a failed test case during this run | 0 |
Max Parallelism | Number of test cases run at the same time | 2 |
This modal appears whenever you execute:
A single test case.
Multiple test cases (from a Test Set or through bulk execution).
Max Retries
The Max Retries setting controls how many times a failed test case will be automatically re-executed during a test run.
Property | Value |
Default Value | 0 (no retries) |
Minimum Value | 0 |
Maximum Value | 2 (all plans) |
Input Type | Number input with increment/decrement controls |
Behavior
When a test case fails, it will be automatically retried up to the specified number of times
In the Test Runs view, only the final execution result is displayed
In the Test Case list view, all execution attempts are shown
Max Parallelism
The Max Parallelism setting controls how many test cases can be executed simultaneously.
Property | Value |
Default Value | 2 |
Minimum Value | 1 (sequential execution) |
The maximum is automatically capped based on your subscription plan:
Starter plan: up to
2concurrent test casesPro / Enterprise plans: up to
10concurrent test cases, or the total number of test cases in the run, whichever is lower
API / CI/CD Integration
The Max Parallelism and Max Retries parameters are also available through the API for CI/CD integrations. When queuing test cases via the API, include these optional parameters:
Parameter | Type | Description |
| integer | Number of test cases to run concurrently |
| integer | Maximum retry attempts for failed tests (0-2) |
