Answer 2

Thanks for reply but that's not what I want. I don't want some set of tests to be executed on one machine and some another on another. I want all tests to be executed on both machines.

Answer 3

Hi, you can create two lab environments one from each machine and run the same test in parallel using this template http://social.technet.microsoft.com/wiki/contents/articles/tfs-2010-parallel-test-execution.aspx

Thanks for suggestion, but unfortunately I cannot use two environments because of policies in my company. Anyways, I think that my solution will be in custom workflow template. Will try that way
