Experience the different types of ATF tests and testing techniques.
* **[Reusable tests](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/l2F8WnAmCXvxTaa7JG3Z9Q)**   
  Leverage reusable tests to simplify test maintenance and streamline the management of large tests and test suites. Reusable tests reduce redundancy, ensuring consistent and reliable test execution across your system.
* **[Mutually exclusive tests](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/_be~I_XAD6jZCGe2ZjNvIA)**   
  Prevent conflicting tests from running in parallel by marking them as mutually exclusive. For example, when the system identifies tests that modify the same record, the system makes these tests mutually exclusive. You can also manually mark tests as mutually exclusive.
* **[Quick start tests](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/GkQ6locmEFTg07jV61_0Gg)**   
  Copy and customize quick start tests provided by the ServiceNow AI Platform® to validate that your instance works after you make any configuration changes. For example, if you apply an upgrade or develop an application.
* **[Parallel testing](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/8G~pxCIx_w4frw091mNx1Q)**   
  Reduce test design time by running multiple tests and test suites in parallel. Design tests to run in parallel by avoiding resource conflicts and data dependencies.
* **[Accelerate ATF tests failure resolution](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/pQTF_LtxkOq~IHprj6OSCg)**   
  Resolve ATF test failures faster using the actionable support provided by the new ATF failure insights feature. You can achieve it by accessing the Find changes since last successful run related link.
* **[Performance profiling](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/a3GGmpiiAGL0amYkDMweMw#atf-perf-prof)**   
  Performance profiling allows you to do performance testing on your instances.
