On BrowserStack, you can run multiple JUnit tests at the same time across various browser, device and OS combinations. This is “Parallel Testing”. Parallel Testing gives you the same benefits as running a multi-threaded application and helps you reduce the run time of your test suite, resulting in faster build times and faster releases.
To run tests on multiple browsers in parallel with JUnit on BrowserStack Automate, follow the below steps:
Clone the junit-browserstack repo on GitHub(if not already done):
git clone https://github.com/browserstack/junit-browserstack.git
cd junit-browserstack
Install the dependencies using the following command:
mvn install
Update parallel.conf.json
files within the junit-browserstack/src/test/resources/conf
directory with your BrowserStack credentials as shown below:
{
"server": "hub-cloud.browserstack.com",
"user": "YOUR_USERNAME",
"key": "YOUR_ACCESS_KEY",
"capabilities": {
"browserstack.debug": true
},
"environments": [{
"browser": "chrome"
},{
"browser": "firefox"
},{
"browser": "safari"
},{
"browser": "internet explorer"
}]
}
Capabilities for each environment can be customised as explained above. You need the following custom script to launch the tests in parallel.
public class Parallelized extends Parameterized {
private static class ThreadPoolScheduler implements RunnerScheduler {
private ExecutorService executor;
public ThreadPoolScheduler() {
String threads = System.getProperty("junit.parallel.threads", "16");
int numThreads = Integer.parseInt(threads);
executor = Executors.newFixedThreadPool(numThreads);
}
@Override
public void finished() {
executor.shutdown();
try {
executor.awaitTermination(10, TimeUnit.MINUTES);
} catch (InterruptedException exc) {
throw new RuntimeException(exc);
}
}
@Override
public void schedule(Runnable childStatement) {
executor.submit(childStatement);
}
}
public Parallelized(Class klass) throws Throwable {
super(klass);
setScheduler(new ThreadPoolScheduler());
}
}
You can now run your tests in parallel on BrowserStack using the following command:
mvn test -P parallel
