Description
Current Behavior
Resources need to run all SMI Conformance tests in parallel can overwhelm a system.
Desired Behavior
Some systems are capable of running many test sets in parallel, while others don't have enough resources to do so.
Implementation
- Define default number of test sets to run in parallel. Let's start with
0meaning full parallelization. - Externalize the number of test sets to run in parallel. Expose this configuration in SMI Validation operation.
- Meshery UI and
mesheryctlto use it.
Contributor guide

- Comment on the issue to say you are picking it up — it saves two people doing the same work.
- Fork the repository and make your change on a branch.
- Open a pull request that references the issue number.
Research direction
Start at the SMI Validation operation and trace how test sets are launched, then inspect the Meshery UI and mesheryctl configuration paths named in the issue. Done means a default of 0 preserves full parallelization and users can configure the number of parallel test sets through both interfaces.
