Description
Today, parallelization seems to be disabled
https://github.com/dotnet/roslyn/blob/57a26b5d5cf7346055e7a1bdc3684c86948760f1/eng/config/xunit.runner.json#L3
Parallelizing may give better performance results, assuming that tests don't compete on some common resources, or if tests do, maybe that can be changed, or only just specific tests be forced to run sequentially, etc.
Contributor guide
Research direction
Start with eng/config/xunit.runner.json at line 3 and inspect how test parallelization is currently configured. Run the relevant test suite to establish current behavior, then identify whether tests share resources and document which tests or resources prevent parallel execution. Done means producing an evidence-based parallelization plan or a clearly scoped configuration change.
