Advantages of Parallel Testing
- Reduced Execution Time: Parallel testing reduces total test execution time by running multiple tests simultaneously, making it especially useful for large test runs or multi-type setups.
- Allow Multi-Threaded Tests: TestNG’s parallel execution enables simultaneous running of multiple threads on test cases, fostering independence in executing different software components.
- Detect Issue: Parallel testing makes it easier to find the problem faster by providing rapid feedback on usage behavior in various situations, enabling timely solutions and reducing project time and associated costs.
Parallel Testing with Selenium
In parallel testing, multiple tests can be run simultaneously in different execution modes, reducing execution time. This approach is particularly useful when running tests across multiple browsers or operating systems because it simplifies cross-browser testing. TestNG is often used with Selenium to provide seamless integration for execution.
