Description

Rails 6.0 or later supports parallel testing. Enabling this feature can reduce the time required for testing and improve development efficiency.
https://guides.rubyonrails.org/testing.html#parallel-testing

By applying the following patch and run the test suite with PARALLEL_WORKERS=6 environment variable in my environment, the time required to run the test suite was reduced to about 30%.

diff --git a/test/test_helper.rb b/test/test_helper.rb
index 10f4f6e35..95b877d44 100644
--- a/test/test_helper.rb

 end

 class ActiveSupport::TestCase
+  parallelize(workers: 1)
+
   include ActionDispatch::TestProcess

   self.use_transactional_tests = true

The reason why the number of workers is set to 1 is that parallel testing causes some errors in system test.
