In multithreading process is it possible that multiple tests to simultaneously use an exclusive resource.

I wanted to know in multithreading processes available in teststand is it possible that multiple test UUTS to simultaneously use an exclusive resource. this resource can be a varaible or a hardware i/o.

No, since an exlusive resource is exclusive in its access. If you don't take care about this (and the resource doesn't protect itself), you will mess up the whole system starting from unreliable results to damage of hardware or worse.
Because of this, TestStand includes steptypes for synchronization like locks and semaphores....

hope this helps,
Norbert
