Execute your Test Case on Cloud (Serial/Parallel)
In SimplifyQA, individual test cases can be executed using the cloud in either Serial or Parallel mode based on specific configurations. This provides flexibility in managing execution speed and browser coverage.
How Execution works for Individual Test Cases
By default, when a single test case is executed on the cloud, the execution runs in Serial Mode — meaning the test steps are executed one after the other in a single browser instance.
However, Parallel Execution can be triggered only when multiple browsers are selected during the execution.
Serial Execution
Steps run sequentially in a single thread
Multiple browser can be selected, but the execution will happen one at a time.
Use Case: Ideal for quick validation or testing on a specific browser.
Parallel Execution
Executes the same test case simultaneously across multiple browsers
You must select multiple browsers (e.g., Chrome + Firefox + Edge).
Use Case: Ideal for cross-browser compatibility testing.
How to Trigger Test Case Execution
Navigate to the Test Case module from the left panel.
Open the Test case that you want to execute.
Click on the Run icon, select execution type as Cloud.
Select thr browser from the dropdown. In case of multiple browser selection you options will show up Serial or Parallel.
The user can choose between serial and parallel.
Once done, start the execution and monitor real-time status in the reports tab.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
How can I enable parallel execution for a single test case?
To execute a test case in Parallel, simply select multiple browsers (e.g., Chrome, Firefox, Edge) during execution setup.
