JUnit, test and threads

Question

Hi,

when i run multiple JUnit tests in a row, does JUnit create a new thread for each execution or everything is wrapped in a single thread?

Thanks

Answer 1

It's all on a single thread. You don't say how you're invoking the tests, but for example, running a TestSuite will run all the tests in the suite sequentially.

If you want parallel execution, TestNG has support for running tests concurrently, as does JUnitPerf and GroboUtils.
