Running tests

If needed, update the .env file with variable that will be used to retrieve the token from the SSO depending on the environment you're running it on.

Then run with any of the below commands.

docker compose up [--scale worker=4]

or

make run

Note: Using --scale option you could add more workers that will be running tests.
