How do I run web tests in parallel in Selenium WebDriver, JBehave & Serenity BDD framework?

For days I've been trying to run web tests parallel in a framework built upon Selenium WebDriver, JBehave and Serenity BDD. After reading through many articles and implementing them I'm still unable to run web tests in parallel.

I would appreciate if anyone could conceptually or practically make me understand the changes I need to make to allow parallel execution in the framework.

I have already read and tried implementing the solution mentioned in the following articles but to no avail: http://mdolinin.github.io/blog/2014/01/17/thucydides-plus-jbehave-plus-maven-run-tests-in-parallel/ The above article uses ThucydidesJUnitStory class, but since it has been deprecated I used SerenityStory class instead. It still did not work.

Structure:

If you test is data driven, just add the following line at the class level:

@Concurrent    
public class sampleTest {    
  //Do stuff here    
}

If you wish to run batch or parallel, look here: http://www.thucydides.info/docs/serenity/#_running_serenity_tests_in_parallel_batches
