How to run/execute few tests of a job on multiple nodes in jenkins

[Amit Mehrotra]

HI,

Is there a way to load balance the tests which we have in a job in Jenkins. Suppose a job is supposed to run 6 tests on 3 nodes, is there a way that we can run 2 tests each at the same time on each node. For e.g Tests are - A,B, C, D,E,F 

Nodes are - 1,2,3

Can we some how run tests A,B on node 1 tests C,D on node 2 and tests E,F on node 3 or any 2 tests on any node at the same time so that all the 3 nodes are being utilized effectively at the same time.

Any help would be highly appreciated.

Thanks, 

Amit

Thanks Victor!!

Just to elaborate our tests are some python scripts which are run on a system through SSH.

Python scripts are available on system under test.

When user triggers the job and select few tests then these tests should get executed on nodes.

Suppose a job is supposed to run 6 tests on 3 nodes, is there a way that we can run 2 tests each at the same time on each node.

Is it possible using Jenkins??

I am currently trying to do it through -- "Restrict where this project can be run" and in label expression I specify the nodes using --

expr&&expr

and

expr||expr

or

Will this help?

Or how can we achieve it??

Any help would be highly appreciated.

Thanks, 

Amit
