The [test item](https://discourse.julialang.org/t/prerelease-of-new-testing-framework-and-test-run-ui-in-vs-code/86355) framework has support for parallel test execution. In VS Code you can enable it by setting `julia.numTestProcesses` to the number of processes you want to use. From the command line there is the _very_ experimental [GitHub - julia-vscode/TestItemRunner2.jl](https://github.com/julia-vscode/TestItemRunner2.jl) to run test items in parallel.
