The web UI automation feature of Cheetah uses Selenium, and it runs on cheetah agent/proxy. Are we using single threaded execution or grid execution (multiple VMs can execute selenium in parallel)? If its single threaded, that means only 1 ticket (that uses web UI internally) should be executed on proxy right? If yes, is there a “lock” in cheetah that prevents multiple web UI automations? If there is no lock, 2 or multiple tickets can interfere each other, right? (assuming we are using browser like chrome/FF)?
Thanks. But another question – will Cheetah identify and block extra tickets? For example, grid had 4 VMs attached so 4 tickets can run in parallel. Will Cheetah/Selenium stop 5th ticket from executing?
it will not stop it will put 5th request in queue until the bandwidth is not available. In Grid, by just adding node you can add more capacity to execute tickets in parallel. By default 1 node is capable of taking 5 chrome and 5 firefoxe executing at 1 time.
