Distribute test executions to multiple machines and rule the world.

I would really like this feature. Not only distribution, also having the possibility to add capabilities to these nodes and to the test Suites.

Like platform dependency. Or configuration depending tests.

The general idea of Gridhub. But with a complete *.robot file transmitted to the node and then executed there.

Just be careful not to implement something that is already covered by typical ci/CD tools.

With Pabot i would see the scope more in what Tests can he executed in parallel and what tests must run on one machine.

I do really think that this kind of distribution no CI system can do. Also grithub is only distribution. And as far as in know it has nothing to do with load balancing or parallelization. The issue is imho that you can not execute all test in parallel. Some use the same user, or same server or same hardware. Others can be parallel. This can imho not be solved with tags, ci or Pabot.

Hi, just curious if there's any updates regarding this issue, it looks like a very useful feature.
