What Hacker News says
2 sourcesAs far as I know Hydra can't run on 1.9 ( https://github.com/ngauthier/hydra/issues/29 )
Alternatively, you have parallel_tests ( https://github.com/grosser/parallel_tests ) which can run on multiple cores. That's great if you use a mac pro, or some behemoth machine.
Little known there's testbot ( https://github.com/joakimk/testbot ) which can run tests across machines & cores. They've even worked in a bootstrapping process https://github.com/joakimk/testbot_cloud
From ( https://github.com/joakimk/testbot/wiki/How-testbot-is-used ) "... 60 minutes of tests to run in 10 minutes using 16 medium EC2 instances (32 cores), read the blog post." reports thoughtbot!
Code softly hackers.
