Speed up test execution

[deshraj]

🚀 The feature

Currently, running tests take around 3-4 mins which is quite long and the duration is going to grow only as we add more tests. We want to reduce the time it takes to run tests by using the pytest-xdist package in the test env.

Motivation, pitch

Speed up tests significantly.
