 The ``-uall`` flag allows the use of all available
 resources so as to not skip tests requiring, for example, Internet access.

+For example, using the command::

+This default setting performs a few initial warm-up runs to stabilize the reference count,
+followed by additional runs to check for leaks.

+If you want more control over the number of runs, you can specify ``warmups`` and ``repeats`` explicitly::

 You can also execute the ``Tools/scripts/run_tests.py`` script as  found in a
