### Solution and Design
<!-- How is this issue solved/fixed? What is the design? -->
<!-- It's better if we elaborate -->
#### Reducing execution time of tests
- The Schema setup and teardown, which were earlier done per test method, usually takes around 1 sec. 
- For mutations, the model has now been changed to only do schema setup and teardown once per test class.
-  A data setup and teardown will be done once per test instead (usually takes ~10ms).
- For the test class to get this behaviour, one can can extend the class `DefaultTestMutations`. 
    - The function  `dir()` should be define which returns the location of the configuration folder.
    - Inside the configuration folder, there should be 
        - Files `<conf_dir>/schema_setup.yaml` and `<conf_dir>/schema_teardown.yaml`, which has the metadata query executed during schema setup and teardown respectively
        - Files named `<conf_dir>/values_setup.yaml` and `<conf_dir>/values_teardown.yaml`. These files are executed to setup and remove data from the tables respectively. 

#### Running Graphql queries on both http and websockets
- Each GraphQL query/mutation is run on the both HTTP and websocket protocols
- Pytests test parameterisation is used to achieve this
- The errors over websockets are slightly different from that on HTTP
   - The code takes care of converting the errors in HTTP to errors in websockets

#### Parallel executation of tests.
- The plugin pytest-xdist helps in running tests on parallel workers.
- We are using this plugin to group tests by file and run on different workers.
- Parallel test worker processes operate on separate postgres databases(and separate graphql-engines connected to these databases). Thus tests on one worker will not affect the tests on the other worker.
- With two workers, this decreases execution times by half, as the tests on event triggers usually takes a long time, but does not consume much CPU.
