Summary

This PR adds comprehensive documentation for parallel test execution using pytest-xdist, demonstrating the project's ability to run tests in parallel to reduce CI/CD execution time and costs. The documentation serves as both a guide for developers and validation that parallel testing infrastructure is properly configured in the Dylan project.

Changes

  • Added pytest-xdist as a development dependency
  • Created comprehensive TESTING.md documentation with parallel execution section
  • Implemented test_parallel_execution.py with validation tests
  • Updated CLAUDE.md with parallel execution examples
  • Updated pyproject.toml with pytest-xdist dependency
  • Created PRP document for parallel execution testing feature

Implementation Details

See: PRPs/features/completed/parallel-execution-test.md

This implementation follows the PRP (Product Requirement Prompt) pattern to ensure:

  • Clear documentation of parallel execution capabilities
  • Installation and usage examples for pytest-xdist
  • Best practices for writing parallel-safe tests
  • Performance benefits and cost savings guidance
  • Troubleshooting guide for common parallel testing issues

Key Technical Details:

  • Parallel execution reduces test execution time by 30-80% for large test suites
  • Uses pytest-xdist plugin with -n auto for automatic worker scaling
  • All tests are designed for isolation and independence
  • Compatible with existing CI/CD pipelines

Testing

  • All existing tests pass in sequential mode (uv run pytest)
  • All tests pass in parallel mode (uv run pytest -n auto)
  • New parallel execution tests added (dylan/tests/test_parallel_execution.py)
  • Manual testing completed with performance validation
  • Linting and type checking passed

Files Changed

  • .ports.env - Port allocation for test services
  • CLAUDE.md - Added parallel execution command examples
  • PRPs/features/completed/parallel-execution-test.md - Complete PRP document
  • TESTING.md - New parallel execution documentation section
  • dylan/tests/test_parallel_execution.py - Parallel execution validation tests
  • pyproject.toml - Added pytest-xdist dependency
