Configuring test suite execution options

1. Thread Count

TestNG provides you with the option to define the number of threads you want to use to run your test suite. This can be simply achieved as:

XML

<suite name="MySuite" thread-count="10">
  </suite>

You have to assign an integer value to the attribute ‘thread-count’ and you are done.

2. Parallel Execution

You can also configure your test suite to allow your tests to run in parallel. To know more on how to parallelize your tests, click here.
