Parallel Job File Execution

In this section, you will use CXTM's parallel Job File execution feature to run multiple test cases in parallel.

By default, the Job Files within the same project will all be placed into the same execution queue and executed sequentially, in the order in which they are queued to run by CXTM's task manager. However, Job Files can be placed in separate execution queues and executed in parallel, significantly decreasing the testing stages in your CI/CD pipeline.

In the following steps, you will assign the 9 test cases to their own execution queues.

Step 1 - Assign the first test case to its own execution queue

From your project's Test Cases page:

1. Locate the first test case (1.01 - Verify Software Version on Devices) and double click None to edit the cell data under the Execution Queue column





Warning

NOTE: You may need to scroll to the right to see the Execution Queue column.



2. Enter 1 in the cell to be added to queue 1 and press Enter on your keyboard to save the change

Step 2 - Assign the remaining test cases to individual execution queues

From your project's Test Cases page:

1. Repeat the 2 steps above that was done for the first test case for the remaining 8 test cases. Assign test cases 1.02 - 2.05 to queues 2 - 9, respectively.
2. Verify that all test cases from 1.01 - 2.05 have been assigned to execution queues 1 - 9, respectively.
