## Object Hierarchy

## Description

If your test target supports multi-process and/or multi-thread, you need to test them. You can use CutSubProcess and CutSubProcessGroup to do it.

CutSubProcess runs your test on another process and forwards results of it to a test on your main process. You will get results of test on another process as results of test on your main process.

CutSubProcessGroup is a convenience object to run some CutSubProcess.
