Parallel Test Execution
As test suites grow, long execution times become a major problem. Parallel execution is a key solution.
Benefits of Running Tests in Parallel
- Execution time is significantly reduced
- CI feedback becomes faster
- Releases can happen more frequently
Tools like Playwright, Selenium Grid, and Cypress Cloud allow tests to run simultaneously across:
- Multiple browsers
- Different devices
- Various environments
Requirements for Reliable Parallel Execution
- Tests must be independent
- Shared states must be avoided
- Test data conflicts must be prevented
Otherwise, parallel runs may introduce additional failures.
