How to run unit tests in parallel and produce JUnit XML output

nose + junit report

I have been using the excellent unittest-xml-report for my simpler needs, however I now have a really long running test suite that I need to use parallelization for performance reasons.

Reading #2 I learned of a work-around so this is a test of it that I will try to apply to my use case.

tests.py

import time
import unittest


class LongTestCase(unittest.TestCase):
    _multiprocess_can_split_ = True

    def test_sleep_1(self):
        time.sleep(1)

    def test_sleep_5(self):
        time.sleep(5)

    def test_sleep_10(self):
        time.sleep(10)

    def test_sleep_15(self):
        time.sleep(15)

tox.ini

    nose
    junit_xml
    nose_xunitmp
commands =
    nosetests --processes=8 --process-timeout=20 --with-xunitmp --xunitmp-file report.xml
