Note If you use variables to specify different database records for
each client's database transactions, you can use the above techniques
to guarantee parallel execution without concurrent database
accesses.
Testing in parallel, but not synchronously
This section illustrates a method for running test functions in parallel on
multiple clients, but with different tests running on each client. This provides
a realistic multi-user load--as opposed to a load in which all clients perform
the same operations at roughly the same time.
