Pabot Data Driver optimization

[appusri9]

I have 10k test cases in excel and used Data driver test template with optimize_pabot=Binary. Am using pabot for parallel execution with 10 processes but in the result I see pabot form 59 executions. Could u pls help me understand how the optimize_pabot options are working?? Though I initiated 10 processes i see 59 executions and how is that possible?? Also in a machine with 4vCPU and 16GB memory how many processes can be launched to run in parallel?? If the number of processes are more i see it is taking more time for execution what could be the reason behind it. Thank in Advance

if you only want 10 pabot runs with 1000 test cases each, that you should select equal and not binary .

I think it is explained here?

Would be best to ask questions in Slack (robotframework.slack.com) or forum.robotframework.org
