[Anthill-pro] A Question About Triggers

Hi There,

I am trying to set up automated triggers for my tests and I need some
help regarding how AnthillPro works.

Lets say I have a testing workflow that depends on 'Tool A', 'Tool B',
and 'Tool C', and ends up executing tests on 'Project X'.  If I set up a
tests workflow with those three dependencies as "Push" dependencies, I
am worried that in the context of a nightly build where tools A, B and C
all get rebuilt, but the builds may occur perhaps 10 or 20 minutes apart
due to other builds occurring at the same time, my tests are going to be
run three times, when really they only should be executed once after all
three tools are rebuilt.

Can I use the quiet period to handle this case?  I was under the
impression that the quiet period was only used in conjunction with the
CVS checkout, not the dependency triggers.  What is the best way to deal
with this scenario?

Mark.
