Hi,

I understand that integration testing uses a random number of nodes for each test. I can see the benefits of that, however, I have a rather large project and a large number of tests and having too many tests with more then 1 node is making testing run a while longer then expected.

Is there a way of controlling the number of nodes in integration testing?

Thanks,  
Ilija
