KyleRogers opened a new pull request #228: Improved Documentation for "parallel" parameter value "none"
URL: https://github.com/apache/maven-surefire/pull/228
 
 
   Added documentation to explicitly state that "none" can be used to disable parallel execution. There was no documentation at the "parallel" parameter before that also listed this special value. The value "none" could only be retrieved from the implementation and is implicitly documented at the description of "parallelTestsTimeoutInSeconds" and "parallelTestsTimeoutForcedInSeconds" in SurefirePlugin.
   
   Knowing a way to disable parallel execution is useful if you need to override a previously parallel exection. We usually declare our surefire tests to be executed in parallel. This is usually defined in the <pluginManagement>-Section of our parent pom.
   Nevertheless when execting the tests with Coverage - JaCoCo in our case - the coverage data will be inaccurate if the tests are executed in parallel. JaCoCo even warns in those situations and sometimes even fails tests.
   
   We use the value "none" to disable parallel test execution using a special "coverage" profile that also enables JaCoCo.
