OPTIMIZING TEST EFFICIENCY: A DEEP DIVE INTO PARALLEL TEST EXECUTION AND DATA-DRIVEN TESTING TECHNIQUES

Abstract
In recent years, the field of software testing has witnessed a paradigm shift with the adoption of innovative techniques to enhance efficiency and effectiveness. One of the key advancements is the integration of parallel testing strategies into automation frameworks. Parallel testing, involving the simultaneous execution of multiple test cases, offers the promise of accelerated testing cycles, reduced time-to-feedback, and improved resource utilization. This research project delves into the realm of parallel testing in automation, exploring dynamic parallelism, parameterization, and their collective impact on test suite scalability. The experiment focuses on the implementation of parallel test execution using Selenium WebDriver, TestNG, and diverse browsers, namely Chrome and Firefox. TestNG's Data Provider feature is leveraged to introduce dynamic parallelism, allowing the execution of test cases with varying sets of data concurrently. The research also investigates the integration of these techniques within a Continuous Integration (CI) pipeline to facilitate early and frequent testing in the software development lifecycle. The proposed objective of this research project is to evaluate the efficiency, scalability, and adaptability of parallel testing with dynamic parameterization in the context of test automation. By conducting a comprehensive analysis, the study aims to provide insights into the strengths, challenges, and potential improvements of these innovative techniques. The outcomes of this research will serve as a valuable guide for practitioners and researchers seeking to optimize their automated testing processes and pave the way for the future of software testing.
