ServiceNow ATF - New York Parallel Testing

Gerald Onyia · ‎01-16-2020

My company's ServiceNow TEST instance is now on New York. Part of New York's Release Notes is that New York now supports parallel testing.

My question is how do I enable or set this up? When running my Test Suite, it is running the same way that it did in Madrid. The current Test is being run while the others are pending.

I thought the idea of "parallel" testing is that all would be in state of "Running" at the same time if the max instance resource allocation is not met. All Tests are Client-Runner Tests by the way. Not sure if this affects anything.

Any help/advice/suggestions would be very much appreciated!

I interpreted that new feature in a different way. A test suite will still process sequentially, but you can launch multiple sessions (different browsers? different machines?) that will not cause cross talk failures if running parallel tests, as long as certain conditions are met.

You need to make sure the different tests / suites are focused on different areas, so you would not want to launch five different suites that all hammer the Request tables at the same time. Maybe have one dedicated to Incident, another to Request, another to Change.

If I'm wrong I hope somebody corrects me.

@Gerald Onyia Did you find out how to configure the tests to run in parallel? if yes, would you mind to share here.

I didn't find any other than https://docs.servicenow.com/bundle/tokyo-application-development/page/administer/auto-test-framework... but no help. Not sure if I need to check on worker threads with admins.

My situation is like here - https://www.servicenow.com/community/developer-forum/atf-run-same-test-suite-in-parallel-with-2-diff...

Appreciate any help.
