Running junit tests in parallel in a Maven build?
java, junit, maven
Solution
From junit 4.7 it's now possible to run tests in parallel without using TestNG. Actually it has been possible since 4.6, but there are a number of fixes being made in 4.7 that will make it a viable option. You may also run parallel tests with spring, which you can read about here
Problem
I'm using JUnit 4.4 and Maven and I have a large number of long-running integration tests. When it comes to parallelizing test suites there are a few solutions that allow me to run each test method in a single test-class in parallel. But all of these require that I change the tests in one way or another. I really think it would be a much cleaner solution to run X different test classes in X threads in parallel. I have hundreds of tests so I don't really care about threading individual test-classes. Is there any way to do this?
