You can implements integration test in our project on GitHub in a new pull request. You can add a fix afterwards but this fix must not introduce any new config parameter. I am thinking of {{parallel=suites}} in case of TestNG (hoping it's not used yet). Please add component TestNG in this JIRA issue.

> I have a Maven module in which I grouped test classes based on their package into different TestNG suite files. The different suite's are listed in the plugin config using <suiteXmlFiles>. The tests identified by the suites are ran sequentially ootb by surefire. With the current version it is already possible to run the tests within the suites in parallel using multiple threads (within a single JVM). 
> However, in my situation I need them to run forked in different JMVs. So what I want is a JVM fork per suite XML file and not  multiple threads. While there are also fork options, they don't seem to work in combination with suite XML files (but rather with methods and or test classes). 
> So, what I'm after is an option that creates a pool of forked JVM's which takes care of running the available suite XML files. For ex. "<fork>suites</fork> <maxFork>8<maxFork>". Each fork will then execute it's test (as identified by the suite XML file) in sequence. So for example, in the config given above, there will be 8 forked JVM's. When I have 10 suite XML files, each JVM will start working on the tests identified by its assigned suite XML. So, JVM1 will run all tests (sequentially) identified by suite XML1. In parallel, JVM2-8 will do the same thing for their assigned suite XML. From the moment a forked JVM is done processing its suite XML file it will start on the next one until they are all processed.
