I am new at this.
What I want to do is start the test cases on multiple browsers at the same time.
This is the xml file that I use to run:
<suite name="Selenium Grid with webdriver" verbose="3" parallel="tests" thread-count="2">
<test name ="Selenium Grid demo">
<parameter name ="browser" value = "iexplore"/>
<classes>
<class name="test.GridWithWebdriver"/>
</classes>
</test>
<test name ="Selenium Grid demo2">
<parameter name ="browser" value = "firefox"/>
<classes>
<class name="test.GridWithWebdriver"/>
</classes>
</test>
</suite>
The problem is the second test which runs on firefox only run after the one runs on IE finishes.
I tried to run the hub with max instances = 5 by this command:
java -jar selenium-server-standalone-2.24.1.jar -role hub -maxInstances=5
But then I still see the warning max instance not specified, using default = 1
So maybe this is why it's not running in parallel?
Also if I want to start the same test case on 3 IE browsers how can I do it?
Please help me with the setup.
Thank you

You have to register one more node to the Selenium grid HUB. Let's have an example :
Regarding IE, have a look on this example : GRID2 configuration - in parallel
EDIT : Better solution is to do what is explained here : Multiple instances. The idea is to open the node with following parameters :
In your case, instead of x, put 5.
