Description

Allow splitting a single test suite into multiple chunks, so that it can be executed in multiple browsers and therefore executed on multiple machines or at least using multiple cores.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate how to split test suites and run them in parallel across browsers or machines. Look into existing sharding mechanisms in other test runners and consider how to integrate with Karma's current architecture.
