queued test status

[jason-gilroy-eb]

Is there any appetite for a "queued" test status?

My use case would be for submitting performance tests as a batch (for the purposes of this discussion, multiple tests that would exercise the same service.) Obviously, we'd want to measure the performance of the service for one test at a time; we don't want all the tests running at once.

A new configuration would be introduced for MAX_LOAD_TESTS_RUN (for my use case, this would be 1) and tests created in excess of this number of active tests (i.e. tests with "creating", "starting", "running" status) would be put into a new status "queued." When a test finishes, queued tests would be processed for possible promotion to an active test.
