Provide option to disable parallel apex testing in Scheduled Tests
Scheduled Test runs can fail due to UNABLETOLOCK_ROW errors. This is due to what amounts to a bug in SF: accessing public custom settings in tests which are run in parallel can cause deadlocks. Really, the tests ought to be isolated from each other, but they are not. See:
The workaround in SF is to disable parallel apex testing.
If Gearset could do that during the scheduled test run, it would prevent false test failures.
I guess I could change the option on the SF org, but sometimes parallel testing is useful, so I wouldn't want to disable it just for Gearset.

Have this issue on half of my orgs. So Unit Test Job brings no value to me.
