By default all flows run in parallel on the QA Wolf run infrastructure, but there are times when you want to sequence some flows to run before others.

How Run Rules work

Configuring groups

Run Rules execute one group of flows before another group of flows. Groups can be constructed by flow name or by tag. Only active flows execute in a run. Drafts are ignored even if they’re part of a rule.

Ordering

To run flows in a sequence like A → B → C, create two rules: run A before B, and run B before C. For each rule, indicate whether flows in the second group should be allowed to run if any flows in the first group fail.
