Metadata

  • Branch: task/ci-split-integration-tests
  • Commit Message: chore(ci): split integration tests into parallel nox sessions
  • Milestone: N/A — Backlog (see note below)
  • Parent Epic: #1678

Description

The current integration_tests session in noxfile.py runs all integration tests in a single session. This monolithic approach limits the potential for parallelization and can lead to longer CI execution times.

This task is to split the integration tests into smaller, more focused sessions. This will allow for better parallelization and faster feedback from the CI pipeline.

Subtasks

  • Analyze the existing integration tests in robot/ and identify logical groups for splitting.
  • Create new Nox sessions for each group of integration tests.
  • Update the CI configuration (.forgejo/workflows/ci.yml) to run the new sessions in parallel.
  • Update features/ci_workflow_validation.feature to assert the new parallel sessions are present.
  • Verify all nox stages pass after changes.

Definition of Done

  • The integration tests are split into smaller, more focused Robot Framework sessions.
  • New Nox sessions are defined in noxfile.py for each group.
  • The new sessions are run in parallel in the CI pipeline.
  • features/ci_workflow_validation.feature covers the new parallel sessions.
  • All nox stages pass.
  • Coverage >= 97%

Backlog note: This issue was discovered during autonomous operation
on milestone v3.8.0. It does not block milestone completion and has been
placed in the backlog for human review and future milestone assignment.

Issue triaged by project owner:

  • State: Verified
  • Priority: Backlog — CI optimization task. Does not affect correctness, only CI execution time.
  • Story Points: 5 — L — Requires analyzing test groups, creating new nox sessions, updating CI config, and updating validation features.
  • MoSCoW: Could Have — This is a CI performance optimization. Tests still run correctly; they just run sequentially instead of in parallel. Nice to have but not blocking any milestone.
  • Parent Epic: #1678
