Can you divide your tests into groups that you could execute as different jobs? If so, then do that and run each group on a slave. One job could trigger the execution of many other jobs as it sole purpose. Each job could then be executed on different slaves and if any job fails, the entire build should fail. The basic question is, can you divide all your jobs into logical groups? You probably can, but it may not be easy. HTH Thomas -- Thomas Sundberg M.
