Enum ParallelAlgorithm

Indicates the parallelization algorithm to use.

public enum ParallelAlgorithm

Fields

Aggressive = 1: The aggressive parallelization algorithm uses a synchronization context to limit the number of running tests to be equal to the desired parallel thread count. This has the effect of being able to use the CPU more effectively since there are typically most tests capable of running than there are CPU cores, at the expense of tests that have already started being put into the back of a long queue before they can run again.
Conservative = 0: The conservative parallelization algorithm uses a semaphore to limit the number of started tests to be equal to the desired parallel thread count. This has the effect of allowing tests that have started to finish faster, since there are no extra tests competing for a chance to run, at the expense that CPU utilization will be lowered if the test project spaws a lot of async tests that have significant wait times.
