Parallel tests

[gkoltsov]

Hey there!

First of all I want to thank Jeff for the great book! Knew ALOT from it. 

My question is -- is there a way to run ruby/cucumber tests in parallel? Do you have such experience to share?

10-20 tests are good for 1 browser instance but what if there are like 300+ tests which are needed to run every 2-3 hours and as fast as possible.

Thanks in advance,

George

We use parallel_tests[1] gem.

Sure, our repository[2] is open source. Take a look at Rakefile[3] for example usage.

Thanks alot! 

I tired parallel_tests gem and it worked perfectly.

Unfortunately it does not work on Windows but I tried on Ubuntu and indeed it parallelized features run between 4 threads.

Thanks,

George
