Version TestNG: 6.9.11-SNAPSHOT Surefire: 2.19

When I try to set parallel and threadCount via surefire plugin TestNG doesn’t accept values. Tried both:

<configuration>                    
    <parallel>tests</parallel>
    <threadCount>3</threadCount>
</configuration>

<property>
    <name>tests</name>
    <value>classes</value>
</property>
<property>
    <name>threadCount</name>
    <value>3</value>
</property>

See detailed example in attached project: TestMultithreading_v.0.2.zip

Additional info: If I set this parameters in TestSuite.xml file it works fine.

These two configurations are compatible. They are applicable if and only if you do not use <suiteXmlFiles/> in Surefire/Failsafe plugin. This means this configuration works fine if you have only ordinal tests without suites.xml. If you use suites.xml then do not use this configuration and tie to configuration in suites.xml or dataproviderthreadcount and parallel, or annotations in your java code. For more information see our documentation http://maven.apache.org/surefire/maven-surefire-plugin/examples/testng.html or our integration tests which is highly recommended. It’s easy to find those *IT.java files using testng dependency in POM: https://github.com/apache/maven-surefire/tree/master/surefire-integration-tests/src/test/resources If there is anything which needs better documentation please let me know.

<configuration>                    
    <parallel>classes</parallel>
    <threadCount>3</threadCount>
</configuration>

<property>
    <name>parallel</name>
    <value>classes</value>
</property>
<property>
    <name>threadCount</name>
    <value>3</value>
</property>
