# Agent pools

Create and manage agent pools for automated testing. Distribute test scenarios across multiple agents and enable parallel execution for faster, more efficient test runs.

The Pools section allows you to create an Agent Pool containing multiple Agents. This pool can then be selected during the execution of a test case or test scenario, and will use the correct agents for the respective steps or test cases.

You can also distribute test scenarios with many test cases to multiple agents and run them in parallel. This can be specified at the start of execution.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.aqua-cloud.io/documentation/automation/web-client/automation-agent/agent-pools.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
