I use FitNesse with the SLIM engine to execute my tests. Since the test suites have since become quite large I have to start thinking about parallelization. Is it possible with FitNesse to execute tests in parallel? I know that the tests can be started from the command line and executed in parallel with xargs or make. However, I am looking for an easy (suited for non-developers) way that would for example be integrated in the FitNesse frontend. How can I do this?

you can do that in a different way, you can create multiple lists of the tests you want to execute and the use the command line interface (using the -c option). in this way you can start as many execution threads you want. – alinoz Nov 20 '13 at 13:55

If command line is an option i can give you more details. – alinoz Nov 20 '13 at 14:19

@alinoz Thanks for getting back to me. Command line currently is not an option. I need a solution that's feasible for non-technical users, preferably available via the FitNesse frontend itself. – Valentin Nov 21 '13 at 09:59

I don't believe it is possible to run a single Suite using multiple threads from the front-end. But have you tried just running multiple Tests (or Suites) via multiple tabs or browser windows?

+1 for a simple yet interesting idea. I tried it and it actually works. Thanks – Valentin Nov 18 '13 at 08:07
