Thanks @janus.faaborg! I am excited to see what will be done with the new features, particularly OpenTAP Sessions. ---

Sessions does look really cool. Release notes mention some ideas around “exciting features” with this capability in the future. Anything worth foreshadowing? 🙂 ---

@jeff.dralla OK, great. I’m not sure I fully understand the Sessions feature. The Release notes are not clear. Is it available in this release or is it work under-the-hood that will be available later? Parallel testplans sounds interesting. ---

@GoranJohnsson it is a bit of both. The core feature of OpenTAP Sessions now exists in 9.13. It will be the catalyst for future features coming in 9.14 and beyond. ---

In the API’s, not Editor I assume? ---

Correct it is focused in the OpenTAP API side for now.
