@jywarren @cesswairimu is there a way to run unit, integration, functional and system tests in parallel? I tried build staging but I'm not sure why that too ran the tests in series

[cesswairimu]

Hi @Manasa2850, looks like we forgot to close Travis related issues...we moved from Travis and we are now using github actions for CI..so I am not sure there is a way we can test this or if we will ever go back to using Travis...as per your question I don't know of any. Thanks

[Manasa2850]

Oh okay @cesswairimu. I've added caching which reduces the build time by 4 mins. Will this PR be of any use? If not, I'll close it for now.
Thank you!

[cesswairimu]

we can merge it when its ready in case we wonna use Travis in the future...

[Manasa2850]

The build time has reduced by 4 minutes.

@cesswairimu this PR can be merged now! If I figure out a way to run tests in parallel sometime later on I'll make another PR for that. Thanks!

[cesswairimu]

The test runner does not use travis.yml(I think) and it looks like it fluctuates e.g on this PR here it ran in 13mins #8928 ...I think we might not be able to test this and we might resolve to closing...so sorry for the confusion

[Manasa2850]

Oh okay @cesswairimu. Even I'm not sure why it doesn't use .travis.yml
No problem, I'll be closing this PR now. Thank you!
