How to identify multiple Chrome browser instances

Hi,   I need to automate/simulate multiple users (3 and more) logging in to their accounts of an instant messaging website and communicate with one another. We have to use Chrome browser for all us...

I think you would run into instances of Ambiguous Recognition with multiple browsers open on one machine.  

 

Would it be a more realistic test if you ran the test on each of three machines?  I can see it being something like

 

Parameters = User, Chat1, Chat2

 

Login with User

Send message to Chat1

Send message to Chat2

Verify message from Chat1

Verify message from Chat2

 

Run that same test on three machines with different combinations in the parameters

Marsha_R,

 

Thanks for the reply.

 

However I'd prefer using one machine to automate the testing since I'm not sure how hard it is to run a test to control AUTs on different machines.
