Qualitia supports Jenkins, an open source automation server written in Java. It is a cross-platform, continuous integration, and continuous delivery application that increases your productivity. It enables developers to find and solve defects in a code base rapidly and to automate testing of their builds.

If your test case is for mobile applications, ensure that the Appium Server is up and running on the designated node when executing test cases using CI tools.

The Parallel Execution approach works on Linux. You need to install plugins mentioned below that help in executing test cases.

• xvfb plugin for Jenkins (https://wiki.jenkins-ci.org/display/JENKINS/Xvfb+Plugin)
• Build Flow Plugin for Jenkins (https://wiki.jenkins-ci.org/display/JENKINS/Build+Flow+Plugin)

Once both the plugins are installed,

1. Create a job with a suitable name. For example: Smoke_Suite.
2. Select "Build Flow" from the options and click Ok. It takes you to the Configure section of the Build Flow plugin.
3. Go to Build Triggers and add your script as mentioned below;

parallel(
{build("Smoke_Firefox")},
{build("Smoke_chrome")}
)

In the example above,
"Smoke_Firefox" and "Smoke_chrome" are qualitia offline jobs that are configured to execute on Firefox and Chrome respectively. You can build multiple complex flows using this plugin. Please go through the Build Flow plugin URL to explore further.
Configuring Qualitia Offline Job
In order to run parallel executions, you need to configure Qualitia offline jobs accordingly. Once jobs are configured,

1. Open the project configuration and select the Start Xvfb before the build, and shut it down after check box.
2. In the Execute Shell text box under the Build section, run the qualitia.offline.jar. Refer to the command mentioned below.

cd /home/qualitia/QualitiaOffline
 java -jar qualitia-offline-3.9.1.jar smoke.propertiessbrowsertype=googlechrome ScreenCaptureMode=BROWSER

It is recommended to keep the ScreenCaptureMode as BROWSER when running parallel executions.
Execute Tests in Parallel
Once offline jobs and respective settings are configured successfully, you can execute tests in parallel executing the Build Flow accordingly. As per the example mentioned above, this executes both "Smoke_Firefox" and "Smoke_Chrome" concurrently.
Once execution is completed, you can go to reports on the build flow job and check the results.
