THE HAPPENING WORLD: SpaceX: Starship Super Heavy BN3 Successful Static Fire Test
Full test duration firing of 3 Raptors on Super Heavy Booster!

As Elon Musk noted, this test involved only three engines on the booster, as I understand, one in the centre ring and two in the middle ring. There's no reason to risk the full complement of engines until the ground support systems, fuel delivery, plumbing, and firing and safing systems have been validated.
