Also I could not find a #testing or equivalent channel in this slack, please let me know if there is a better suited channel for this.

Yeah the docs could be better. That's one reason why I did a bit of an overview here: • The tests are executed in separate JVMs (Worker JVMs) • Within one test tasks the JVMs are reused unless you set "forkEvery" to force the shutdown after a certain number of test classes • If you set tests to run in parallel with "maxParallelForks" that is how many parallel JVMs will be forked for one test task • "org.gradle.workers.max" is still respected and might lead to a lower number of Worker JVMs than defined in "maxParallelForks"

Thank you, this does help clarify a few things. Would you also know what does the number on the test executor correspond to. Is that something like a pid for the test executor?

I think it's just a number that's incremented in the Gradle Daemon. So the first worker started for your build is 1 the next 2 and so on. But I am not 100% sure.
