Tests division among simulators

[shahzadmajeed]

Hi,

Do all simulators run all tests or is it possible to divide tests among them so say if you have 100 tests and 5 simulators, each simulator will run 20 distinct tests?

I know the purpose of bluepill is to run UI tests across multiple screen sizes and devices to make sure they look good on each device so it kind of defeat the purpose but just curious if above use case is supported.

Thank you

@shahzadmajeed, it's actually the other way around. The purpose of Bluepill is to slice and dice the tests across multiple simulators so that say... 100 tests are run across 5 different simulators (i.e., the use case you are asking support for). However, if you need to run tests across different devices or screen sizes, you need to run tests on Bluepill multiple times with different configurations (the use case which you think Bluepill is meant for). So, both the use cases are supported and doable but distributing tests across multiple simulators to run them in-parallel is more straight-forward than the other use case.

I see. Thank you for correcting me on this!
