    <dependencies>

I have all the required dependencies but not including here.
I am unable to run test parallelly with forkCount or methods. It works fine would the sureFire plugin but I cannot use the surefire plugin to generate serenity reports.
I have tried a combination of forkCount and parallel that didn't work either.
I was able to fork multiple Java VMs using the sureFire.

I am trying to run test parallelly in multiple virtual machines. Our application is swing based java application and we are using LeanFt to automate the testing process.

I figured out how it actually works. All you have to do is add Surefire plugin with Failsafe plugin when you use both of them. It works like a charm.

<build>
    <plugins>
        <plugin>
            <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
            <artifactId>maven-surefire-plugin</artifactId>
            <version>2.22.1</version>
            <configuration>
                <skip>false</skip>
            </configuration>
        </plugin>
        <plugin>
            <artifactId>maven-failsafe-plugin</artifactId>
            <version>2.22.1</version>
            <configuration>
                <includes>
                    <!-- Run every java class in the 'tests' package -->
                    <include>${test.directory}/*.java</include>
                </includes>

            </configuration>
