Time Taken Report of Parallelization vs Serialization
Consider the case where we have code with two test methods. This process will run simultaneously in two different browsers: one test will run in Chrome and the other test will run in Firefox. This setup illustrates how parallelization enhances testing speed and provide a better return on investment (ROI).
In the example, we will do this step by step, one after the other. This approach contrasts with other examples where two methods work in parallel, creating two processes that can be done simultaneously. The image below shows the times required for the two methods, respectively:

2. Time Taken Report of Serialization
Both image indicates the time taken to execute the methods in parallel.
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.
