I have test cases implemented for service level testing and I can execute them in parallel at suite level by using {parallel = tests} as below
<suite name="Suite_Name" parallel="tests" thread-count="10">
If I have a parent suite which comprises of children suites as below, and if I would like to create a Jenkins job to execute this parent suite, is there any way to execute these children suites in parallel[internally each child suite will execute it's test cases parallel]?
<suite>
<suite-files>
<suite-file path="./testSuite_1.xml"/>
<suite-file path="./testSuite_2.xml"/>
<suite-file path="./testSuite_3.xml"/>
<suite-file path="./testSuite_4.xml"/>
</suite-files>
I know that selenium grid can be used if we have any web-based test cases, but the cases that I have are not web-based. They are API/service level test cases which are implemented by the customized framework using Java, TestNG and Jax-rs libraries.
This depends a lot on how you are running your tests. Let's assume that you are talking about running tests within a CI environment. I am going to use GitLab pipelines to illustrate my answer.
If you are able to run a single suite from the command line. Something like runTests suite1
. Then, in your pipeline configure a job for each test suite. By assigning all the jobs to the same stage they will run in parallel.
Based on the example your .gitlab-ci.yml
would look something like this:
stages:
- build
- test
job 1:
stage: build
script: runBuild
job 2:
stage: test
script: runTests suite1
job 3:
stage: test
script: runTests suite2
job 4:
stage: test
script: runTests suite3
job 5:
stage: test
script: runTests suite4
NOTE: If you add more detail to your question feel free to drop me a message and I will update my answer accordingly. Things like the CI system, build tool, etc. would help.
Jenkins specifics
Thanks for the clarification on your environment. I haven't personally done this with Jenkins. However, Cloudbees have a blog post which talks about running jobs in parallel. Please take a look at the splitting tests section on that post, it might be just what you are looking for.
