Ideally, parallel tests should use their own LoggerContext. But for the ClassLoaderContextSelector (the default) this would require that each test have its own ClassLoader. In reality it would be better to create a ContextSelect for the framework you are using that keys off of something unique for each test to have its own ContextSelector.
I know nothing about a Spock testing framework so I can’t really advise you there.
