iTest supports multi-threaded execution: Run tests (of the same session type) in parallel without conflict.

The signal group of actions enable a variety of options:

• Pause a thread until it is signaled to proceed by a specified event. For example, to encapsulate the procedure that opens a session so that no other steps in the session will proceed until the session is open
• Pause particular threads of execution until other threads notify (signal) them that it is safe to proceed. This capability enables you to encapsulate test cases and to improve the multi-threaded aspects of test cases
• Pause threads until explicitly signaled. For example, you can begin a test case by initializing several devices and other steps or procedures cannot use the devices until initialization is complete
• Advanced users can combine synchronization actions to prevent deadlock, starvation, livelock, and other common liveness issues
