Metadata

Branch: test/ci-execution-time-parallelize-unit-integration-tests
Commit Message: perf(ci): parallelize unit and integration test suites to reduce CI execution time
Milestone: v3.8.0
Parent Epic: #1678

Summary

The unit_tests and integration_tests jobs in the CI pipeline currently run as single, monolithic steps (nox -s unit_tests and nox -s integration_tests). This can be inefficient if the test suites are large. Parallelizing these test suites would significantly reduce the CI execution time.

Subtasks

Analyze the unit and integration test suites to determine the best way to split them into parallelizable chunks.
Update the .forgejo/workflows/ci.yml file to run the unit and integration test chunks in parallel. This could be done using a matrix strategy or by running multiple nox sessions in parallel within each job.

Definition of Done

The unit and integration test suites are parallelized.
The execution time of the unit_tests and integration_tests jobs is significantly reduced.
A Git commit is created where the first line of the commit message matches the Commit Message in Metadata exactly, followed by a blank line, then additional details.
The commit is pushed to the remote on the branch matching the Branch in Metadata exactly.
The commit is submitted as a pull request to master, reviewed, and merged before this issue is marked done.
All nox stages pass.
Coverage >= 97%.

Potential duplicate of #1987.

This issue overlaps with #1987 ("increase parallelism across all test suites", v3.8.0) which covers parallelizing pytest, Behave, and Robot Framework test suites. Both request splitting and parallelizing unit and integration tests.

Triaging as verified but flagging the overlap. The backlog groomer should consolidate.

Issue triaged by project owner:

State: Verified
Priority: Medium (confirmed)
Milestone: v3.8.0 (confirmed — CI infrastructure)
MoSCoW: Could Have — Test suite parallelization is a CI optimization. Overlaps with #1987.
Parent Epic: #1678 (confirmed correct)

Closing as duplicate of #2293.

This issue ("Parallelize Unit and Integration Test Suites") covers the same scope as #2293 ("Parallelize Nox Sessions in CI"), which addresses running independent test suites in parallel CI jobs. Consolidating to avoid duplicate work.
