Can you run multiple suites from single testNG.xml in parallel mode ?

[SSR]

Hello,

I have a testNG structure as follows.  Suite XX and Suite YY has same set of tests. I would like to run Suite XX and Suite YY in parallel with different browsers on different VMS. Is it possible to run Suites in parallel mode.?

<suite name="XX">

      <parameter name="browser" value = "firefox">

      <test name="a">

           <classes>

                 <class name= "a" />

           </classes>

       </test>

       <test name="b">

           <classes>

                 <class name= "b" />

           </classes>

       </test>

</suite>

<suite name="YY">

      <parameter name="browser" value = "IE">

      <test name="a">

           <classes>

                 <class name= "a" />

           </classes>

       </test>

       <test name="b">

           <classes>

                 <class name= "b" />

           </classes>

       </test>

</suite>

Thanks

Sneha,

To the best of my knowledge you cannot do this with a suite of suites in TestNG.

But you can do this if you pass in the suite names individually.

Please take a look at this blog post of mine to learn how to do it : https://rationaleemotions.wordpress.com/2016/03/29/parallel-execution-of-multiple-testng-suites/

Thanks Krishnan. That was helpful but I am building my xml dynamically and running the jar file from command file. Looks like I need to restructure my xml.

Also I have another question, when I run my project in Eclipse I see test-output directory gets created and all output files go in that. when I build in Maven and run the jar file from command line I do not see the output directory . Does it get created ?

If you use maven to run the tests (using the surefire plugin) then your output directory is set to target/surefire-reports. The test-output folder is something that is created by the TestNG eclipse plugin.

If you are using Maven to build an uber jar [ A jar that contains all its dependencies ] and then using java -jar <yourJar.jar> to run your tests, then you would need to ensure that you provide a mechanism to pass in the test output directory. I am guessing that in this case, you are using TestNG APIs.
