### 6.5.4. Multi-user

When using a multi-user database, multiple testers can work on a single Project concurrently.

Within such a scenario, all testers currently working on a Project may view and execute all parts of it. As soon as one tester alters a part of the Project, a lock is placed on that unit to disallow other users from making changes of their own. They are, however, still able to view and execute a locked test unit. Once the user with the lock has saved all changes, the lock is removed, and the test unit is once again available for editing.

This database scenario is well-suited for larger testing operations, allowing for tight collaboration among testers and reducing the overall time needed to specify complex testing projects.
