Each jobs has its own process. This has the following benefits:

  • Failure isolation: If a test panics unexpectedly (for example it runs out of memory), only that test is affected and not the whole system.
  • Cancel jobs: Allow jobs to be force cancelled simply by killing the process.
  • Resource limits: Each job can have its own limits on memory, fds, cpu, etc...
