How may I run testing suite XML files in parallel?

Question

I have two TestNG test suite XML files, each suite has two classes, and I want to run both suites in parallel.

I don't want to run methods or classes in parallel; I want to run the suites in parallel using TestNG, because each suite has its own config parameters.

I'd recommend a Suite-of-Suites configuration. Please see my answer here.

From your surefire plugin, you'd simply need to invoke your master suite file instead of each one individually.

I did not know you could do that! Nice, I may actually implement that. How does the test report look? All on one report just broken down into Suites > Packages > Tests ? – Ray Sep 23 '16 at 00:39

Instead of executing suites files in parallel, create two test suites in one xml and set parallel="tests".

And specify your parameters inside <test> </test> tags, below is an example.

<suite name="Demo Suite" parallel="tests">        
        <test name="TestSuite1">
            <parameter name="driver.name" value="firefoxDriver" />
            <classes>
                <class name="com.example.Demo1" />
            </classes>
        </test>
        <test name="TestSuite2">
            <parameter name="driver.name" value="chromeDriver" />
            <classes>
                <class name="com.example.Demo2" />
            </classes>
        </test>
</suite>
