How can I run TestSuites in parallel from xml documents

Support
1

I’m trying this, but it just runs the test sequentially

!DOCTYPE suite SYSTEM “http://testng.org/testng-1.0.dtd”>
suite name=“AllSuites” verbose=“1” parallel =“tests” thread-count=“10”>
suite-files>
suite-file path=“TestSuites/AllSuiteTest1.xml”>
suite-file path=“TestSuites/AllSuiteTest2.xml”>
/suite-files>
/suite>–>

My ultimate goal is to kick off my IOS test and Android test in parallel.

Thank for any information you can provide.

Hi @dduphorn

Can you give a try with Maven-surefire-plugin?
http://maven.apache.org/surefire/maven-surefire-plugin/examples/testng.html

===
TestNG 6.9.8 (JRE 1.7) and plugin version 2.19 or higher allows you to run suites in parallel.

Have a look at below reference,

By the way, we are using TestNG version 6.8.7 and Java 1.7/1.8.

I did figure it out, and below is how I did it.

I will however take a look at the information you provided.

Thanks

!DOCTYPE suite SYSTEM “http://testng.org/testng-1.0.dtd”>
suite name=“RunAllTestSuitesInParallel-SG” verbose=“1” parallel =“tests” thread-count=“10”>
test name = "ANDROID_Tests”>
parameter name=“AP1” value=“AP1Value”>

class name=“AutomationCode.TestCases”>

include name=“Android-Test1” />
include name=“Androit-Test2” />

One question: Have you defined your appium driver object as static?

6

@Mayuresh_Shirodkar I’m not sure what you mean, but I didn’t do anything special to my Appium Driver.

My tests are executing on different AppiumPorts and use different BootstrapPorts

7

What i mean is how do you define is it like below or you do not use static driver and instead create objects:
static Appium driver;
driver = new AndroidDriver(new URL(“http://127.0.0.1:4723/wd/hub”), dc);

Why i ask you this is when there is a static definition of any element, Parallel Testing doesnt work.Need you to confirm

8

For every test I’m specifying a separate AppiumPort.

I the example below I replace 4723 with a different port value per test.

driver = new AndroidDriver(new URL(“http://127.0.0.1:4723/wd/hub”), dc);

Does that make sense?

Yes i understand the part where you use different port for each device you test your script on.
As i have already tried that, and was able to execute the scripts in parallel,But had a issue wherein the script continued on one of the devices and other device stopped.

I probably feel it may be due to the static driver object.

Could you please post your driver definition snippet here, if you dont mind?

How are you stopping the appium server? My guess is that you are killing all nodes, and you need to be killing the node tied to the appium port.
