# getMaxParallelForks

@Internal
abstract fun getMaxParallelForks(): Property<Integer>(source)

Returns the maximum number of test processes to start in parallel.

By default, Gradle executes a single test class at a time.

- A value of `1` means to only execute a single test class in a single test process at a time. This is the default.
- A value of `N` means that up to `N` test processes will be started to execute test classes. This can improve test execution time by running multiple test classes in parallel.

This property cannot exceed the value of max-workers for the current build. Gradle will also limit the number of started test processes across all Test tasks.

#### Return

The maximum number of forked test processes.
