Can I use Knapsack Pro locally in a development environment?

Knapsack Pro is not designed to be used in a development environment: there are many potential bottlenecks on one machine (CPU/RAM/IO/DB). Not to count, different types of tests require a different mix of resources. So you risk either under-utilizing or saturating resources, which result in suboptimal tests runs.

Knapsack Pro is built from the ground up for your CI where each node is isolated and you are guaranteed a faster test suite execution with each additional parallel node you add. Sky is the limit.

• In some cases, you may still want to run multiple test processes on one machine. In such a case, please take a look at Using Knapsack Pro with parallel_tests.
