Kristian Rosenvold commented on SUREFIRE-751: --------------------------------------------- If we ever get to support full symmetry of options (i.e. forkMode=perthread, parallel=classes, threadCount=2 we'd probably have to add a forkCount option too.) @andreas I'll look at your doc pull request "soon"; i have a feeling 2.13.1 is not too far off. (With a ".13" version number I suppose that's just to be expected) > Support parallel/fork mode similar to http://maven-junit-plugin.kenai.com/ > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: SUREFIRE-751 > URL: https://jira.codehaus.org/browse/SUREFIRE-751 > Project: Maven Surefire > Issue Type: New Feature > Components: process forking > Affects Versions: 2.9 > Reporter: Stephen Connolly > Assignee: Kristian Rosenvold > Fix For: 2.13 > > Attachments: SUREFIRE-751-part1.patch, SUREFIRE-751-part2.patch > > > The current parallel execution spawns one thread _per_class_ > When there is a large disparity between the number of tests in different > classes, this can result in a longer execution time. This can often happen in > GUI testing, where a couple of classes will contain a lot of long running > (but low cpu) test cases, and the remaining classes run fast. > See http://maven-junit-plugin.kenai.com/ for an attempt at solving this -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
