Need to set dependencies between the test suites in a test collection where the test collection is set to parallel

I have 16 suites in a test collection where

6-11 test suites need to wait, till the 1-5 gets completed and 12-16 needs to wait till the 6-11 gets completed.

Note: the test collection is set to be in parallel mod

Test Suite Collection does not support it.

You want to use Jenkins, or some CI/CD servers of that sort. Of course, you need to purchace sufficient number of Kataln Runtime Engine.

> 6-11 test suites need to wait, till the 1-5 gets completed and 12-16 needs to wait till the 6-11 gets completed.

In the above sample code, you want at most 5 “sh ./katalonc” commands to run in parallel. Then, you need to purchase 5 KRE licenses at least.

I don’t know if Katalon offers any products (TestCloud? TestOps?) that can do the same as Jenkins.
