Description Jelmer Vernooij 2014-10-12 22:10:38 UTC 
We'd like to run the tests in "make test" in parallel, so that we can actually utilize all cores in multi-core machines.

testr allows us to run tests in parallel, and we've already got most of the infrastructure to do that in place (selftest --list, selftest --load-list, .testr.conf).

The main thing that is preventing us from running testr are the fact that tests currently have to be run in a specific order, which we can't do with multiple workers.
Comment 1 Andrew Bartlett 2019-06-11 21:21:37 UTC 
Fixed in Samba 4.9, 4.10 and 4.11 with increasing use of gitlab and the split up of the test environment.  

Not quite the fix asked for, but a practical step forward.
