How we reduced the time to run tests from hours to just minutes

SMRTR summary

Jakarta EE TCKs used to take hours due to GlassFish cold-starts on every test module. A new Maven plugin — glassfish-pool-maven-plugin — pre-starts a pool of GlassFish instances and shares them across parallel test JVMs. The Faces TCK dropped from 3+ hours to under 4 minutes with -T8, and the Security TCK now finishes in under 2 minutes.
