Description

I have some simple tests I'm trying to configure to run in parallel using Maven 3.3.3 and the latest versions of TestNG. I've set my POM file to the following:

<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-surefire-plugin</artifactId>
<version>2.18.1</version>
<configuration>
<parallel>methods</parallel>
<threadCount>50</threadCount>
</configuration>
</plugin>

When I run in parallel, I only get 10 threads no matter the setting and I can not change it. I've tried adding the annotation parameter to the method as well:

@Test(dataProvider = "dataProvider", threadPoolSize = 50)

Nothing seems to help. I have a simple project that illustrates what I'm seeing.
