Most of us would have at some point or the other built a Selenium based TestNG test that kind of looks like below: When running this above class with parallel=”methods” we would be expecting that TestNG would run the method a() and c() on the same thread. But TestNG doesn’t do that. It guarantees that … Continue reading
To the best of my knowledge, so far there’s no support within cucumber-jvm so as to support concurrent executions of scenarios that are part of a particular feature file. I have attempted at taking a jab at this problem and am glad to announce a Proof Of Concept in that direction. I have named it … Continue reading

Since the Hub is the single point of interaction for a test with an actual node on which all the browser interactions are carried out, all tests end up bumping up the network … Continue reading
A static Grid (i.e., a hub and a fixed number of nodes) is a good start for setting up a remote execution infrastructure. But once the usage of the hub starts going up, problems start creeping up. Nodes go stale and start causing false failures for the tests and require constant maintenance (restart). Some of … Continue reading
Today I released talk2Grid which is a simple java library that lets you do the following : Find out to which node was a test routed to ? Provide access to the Grid Hub configuration. Provide access to the Grid node configuration to which the hub routed a test to. You can start using it … Continue reading
