Scott Babcock commented on GEODE-7057:
--------------------------------------
[JUnit Foundation|https://github.com/Nordstrom/JUnit-Foundation] global timeout
management enables you to establish a project-wide timeout that will terminate
any test that runs longer than the specified interval. This feature leverages
the implementation of the standard {{timeout}} element of the Test annotation.
You can override the global interval on individual tests by explicitly
specifying a longer timeout interval, you can decline global timeout management
on individual tests or entire classes, and you can use rule-based timeout
management as well.
> Add Per Test Timeout To JUnit Tests

> Key: GEODE-7057
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GEODE-7057
> Project: Geode
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: tests
> Reporter: Ryan McMahon
> Priority: Major
>
> Currently if a test hangs in any of our Concourse test jobs (UnitTest*,
> DistributedTest*, etc), the Concourse job timeout will be reached but without
> any indication which test actually hung. It would be useful to explore if we
> can add a global test timeout which would fail the hanging test before the
> Concourse timeout is reached. This article has some suggestions on how to do
> this:
> [https://github.com/junit-team/junit4/wiki/timeout-for-tests]
> One suggestion is to use a JUnit rule. We would definitely want to avoid the
> need to add this annotation to every test class, but we might be able to get
> away with getting decent coverage by adding it to the test base classes
> (JUnit4DistributedTestCase, JUnit4CacheTestCase).
> Another suggestion is use a third party library which provides a global
> timeout like JUnit Foundation (link in above article).
> Regardless of implementation, the goal would be to timeout the test that is
> hanging and show the failure output in CI without hitting the Concourse job
> timeout.
