Parallelization in testing allows for multiple automated test scripts to run simultaneously against various environment configurations, increasing the speed of test results and allowing for more frequent testing, increased test coverage, better and more consistent results. To achieve effective parallelization, it's essential to use the right infrastructure, write test scripts that are atomic, autonomous, and short, and remove data dependencies to ensure tests can run independently. By deploying parallelization thoughtfully and effectively, developers can enhance the overall health of their CI/CD pipeline and return better, more consistent results.
