After commenting the LambdaTest Maven Tunnel dependency, the parallel execution of tests on LambdaTest dashboard works fine.
<dependency>
<groupId>com.github.lambdatest</groupId>
<artifactId>lambdatest-tunnel-binary</artifactId>
<version>1.0.16</version>
</dependency>
Debugging Steps:
maven tunnel dependency is below as per your pom details https://github.com/LambdaTest/lambdatest-maven-tunnel
this is using testng as dependency.
<dependency>
<groupId>org.testng</groupId>
<artifactId>testng</artifactId>
<version>7.7.1</version>
<scope>compile</scope>
</dependency>
It could give you some issues when running with surefire. try with TestNG Exclusion as below. It should work. It is always the better idea to use latest version.
<dependency>
<groupId>com.github.lambdatest</groupId>
<artifactId>lambdatest-tunnel-binary</artifactId>
<version>1.0.16</version>
<exclusions>
<exclusion>
<groupId>org.testng</groupId>
<artifactId>testng</artifactId>
</exclusion>
</exclusions>
</dependency>
