Description

Brief feature description

With cargo nextes it is possible to distribute the execution of tests to multiple runners. This will speed up the CI.

Detailed information

When the number of tests increase, this will have a significant impact on the CI since most of the tests use the RouDiEnvironment which results in ~300ms minimal execution time. Therefore the tests should be distributed to two runners as a starting point.

A CI profile could be used to also add repetition for failed tests.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate cargo nextest's partitioning feature and configure CI (e.g., GitHub Actions) to run tests in parallel across two runners. Create a CI profile with test repetition for flaky tests. Refer to nextest documentation for setup.
