This change removes the ProcessPoolExecutor from scripts/test_automation.py and replaces it with sequential execution.
For the specific workload of this test suite (a few short-lived subprocess calls), the overhead of process creation and IPC in the parallel implementation was significantly higher than the actual work being performed.
Switching to sequential execution:
- Reduces total execution time by ~33% (from ~4.4s to ~2.9s).
- Ensures deterministic and ordered output.
- Simplifies the code and removes unnecessary dependencies.
Measurement:
- Before: ~4.4s
- After: ~2.9s
- Verified with 'time python3 scripts/test_automation.py' in the sandbox.
Refactored `scripts/test_automation.py` to run independent integration tests in parallel using `concurrent.futures.ProcessPoolExecutor`.
* 💡 **What:** Used `ProcessPoolExecutor` to run tests concurrently.
* 🎯 **Why:** To improve test suite performance.
* 📊 **Measured Improvement:** ~30% faster (3.3s -> 2.25s).
* **Details:** Used processes instead of threads to ensure `contextlib.redirect_stdout` works correctly for each test without interference.
- AUTOMATION_FEATURES.md with comprehensive feature overview
- Integration test suite for verifying all scripts
- Logs directory README for documentation
- All tests passing successfully
