Parallelrunner

Parallelrunner is a simple command line tool which executes the postman collection parallelly. The process is very simple. Just download the collections and the respective environment in the below-given folder format and call the parallelrunner application. Parallelrunner will execute all the collections parallelly in the desired folder and generates custom HTML report parallel to your collections.

New Features!

• The execution time is very fast as it runs all the collections parallelly
• Can able to run the collections based on some simple priority
• Custom HTML report will be generated in parallel to collections location

Tech
