I've gotten as many as 60 browsers concurrently running in 10 threads. Closing each browser at the end of each test frees up enough resources to run a much larger number of tests. I think the number of threads Ruby can handle is arbitrarily large, but each thread will compete for resources on the local machine, so it's easy to hit performance bottlenecks with a smallish number of threads, unless you're very careful. -Chris _______________________________________________ Wtr-general mailing list [email protected] http://rubyforge.org/mailman/listinfo/wtr-general _______________________________________________ Wtr-general mailing list [email protected] http://rubyforge.org/mailman/listinfo/wtr-general
