Well, I would like to clarify about "mre tolerant than others"..

The reality is that you cannot measure tolerance of app. Either it is or it is not. Thats it. WHy,, you may ask?

The answer simply lays under the fgact that each and every automated testing platform must perform additional checks that depends of path of the any binary you want to execute. Example can be taken for application that is intended to:

- Work in one desktop - one session - one user mode ( a.k.a Windows OS ). Once you change any of those core elemnts to "multi xxx", you are now hitting the effect of what users threat as "tolerance". From developers view of point, it is nothing more as checks that makes sure you runb and threat application in the EXCAT use-case application is intended for.

Hope you get the idea.
