Yes, running tests in parallel on mobile devices is a common practice to speed up testing and increase coverage.
Typically, tools and frameworks that support parallel execution are used, such as:
- Appium with parallel session configuration
- Firebase Test Lab or AWS Device Farm for cloud-based parallel testing
- Using CI/CD systems with parallel agents
An example using Go and Appium (pseudocode):
func runTestOnDevice(deviceID string, wg *sync.WaitGroup) {
defer wg.Done()
// Initialize Appium session for deviceID
// Run tests
}
func main() {
devices := []string{"device1", "device2", "device3"}
var wg sync.WaitGroup
for _, d := range devices {
wg.Add(1)
go runTestOnDevice(d, &wg)
}
wg.Wait()
}
This approach allows tests to run simultaneously on multiple devices, reducing overall testing time.
