Executing WebUI Feature Files Across Multiple Browsers Using Parallel or Distributed Testing

To execute WebUI feature files against multiple browsers (Zalenium) using a parallel runner or distributed testing, utilize the following approaches:

Parallel Runner and Scenario Outline:

• Employ a Scenario Outline to create a table with rows representing different browser configurations.
• Add a parallel runner to the Karate-config.js file to specify the number of parallel threads.
• Move the driver configuration into the Feature file.
• Run the feature file, and Karate will execute each row of the table in parallel.

Scenario Outline and Separate Feature:

• Create a normal Scenario in the main feature file.
• Establish a Scenario Outline in a separate feature file, designated for parallel-izing UI tests.
• Configure the driver in the Scenario Outline and call the main feature.
• Run the Scenario Outline, which will sequentially execute the main feature with different browser configurations.

Additional Considerations:

• For reuse of browser instances across tests, study the Karate CI regression test.
• Explore other ideas as provided in the StackOverflow answers referenced in the response.

By adopting these methods, you can effectively execute WebUI feature files against multiple browsers, enhancing the efficiency and comprehensiveness of your UI testing process.
