Simon Glass 11ae93eef4 binman: Run tests concurrently
At present the tests run one after the other using a single CPU. This is
not very efficient. Bring in the concurrencytest module and run the tests
concurrently, using one process for each CPU by default. A -P option
allows this to be overridden, which is necessary for code-coverage to
function correctly.

This requires fixing a few tests which are currently not fully
independent.

At some point we might consider doing this across all pytests in U-Boot.
There is a pytest version that supports specifying the number of processes
to use, but it did not work for me.

concurrencytest

testing goats

Python testtools extension for running unittest suites concurrently.


Install from PyPI:

pip install concurrencytest

Requires:


Example:

import time
import unittest

from concurrencytest import ConcurrentTestSuite, fork_for_tests


class SampleTestCase(unittest.TestCase):
    """Dummy tests that sleep for demo."""

    def test_me_1(self):
        time.sleep(0.5)

    def test_me_2(self):
        time.sleep(0.5)

    def test_me_3(self):
        time.sleep(0.5)

    def test_me_4(self):
        time.sleep(0.5)


# Load tests from SampleTestCase defined above
suite = unittest.TestLoader().loadTestsFromTestCase(SampleTestCase)
runner = unittest.TextTestRunner()

# Run tests sequentially
runner.run(suite)

# Run same tests across 4 processes
suite = unittest.TestLoader().loadTestsFromTestCase(SampleTestCase)
concurrent_suite = ConcurrentTestSuite(suite, fork_for_tests(4))
runner.run(concurrent_suite)

Output:

....
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Ran 4 tests in 2.003s

OK
