See also :prop_test:`FIXTURES_REQUIRED` if the resource requires any setup or cleanup steps. + +Both the :prop_test:`PROCESSES` and ``RESOURCE_LOCK`` properties serve similar +purposes, but they are distinct and orthogonal. Resources specified by +:prop_test:`PROCESSES` do not affect ``RESOURCE_LOCK``, and vice versa. Whereas +``RESOURCE_LOCK`` is a simpler property that is used for locking one global +resource, :prop_test:`PROCESSES` is a more advanced property that allows +multiple tests to simultaneously use multiple resources of the same type, +specifying their requirements in a fine-grained manner. |
