Given N parallel forks, it attempts to schedule tests so all forks will complete at the same time. It's runOrder=balanced in the docs. Great feature for users with long-running tests. We saved 20% run-time on our selenium tests. 2.11 supported balanced for regular parallel runs, 2.12 adds support for parallel forks and balanced works with this too.
Will blog about these features once 2.12 is out. It's all in the docs too Kristian Den 29. jan. 2012 kl. 14:15 skrev Jason van Zyl <[email protected]>: > > On Jan 29, 2012, at 6:03 AM, Kristian Rosenvold wrote: > >> Hi, >> >> This is the first java 1.5 version of the surefire plugin.
