How to execute same suite on different machines with different browsers ( Grid related query ) ?

[Vikram]

Hi All,

With Grid setup I could distribute test cases ( parallel execution ) on all available nodes.

Now I want to execute all test cases on all the nodes ( running on unique browser )

Please let me know how to achieve this ?

Thanks in advance.

Hi Vikram,

Grid allows us to set the node configuration using parameter like -browser name etc. So you can use it for different machines on different browsers.

Eg here :-browser “browserName=firefox,version=3.6,firefox_binary=c:\Program Files\firefox ,maxInstances=3, platform=WINDOWS”

Hi Amogh,

Thanks for reply but this won't solve my goal.

let me be more specific

1. Each machine / node with single browser

2. Instead of distributing test cases to existing nodes , want to execute all test cases in each of the nodes ( to check browser compatibility node 1 = chrome , node 2 = ff , node 3 = Edge etc )

Please let me know if you have achieved this.

Thanks,

Vikram

Hi Vikram,

We have done its using TestNG through which we are passing all different browsers as a input parameter  and set values for parallel run true and thread count as 3. So here each node will have FF,Chrome and IE . Here in TestNG suite names will be repeated but can be doable.

Vikram,

Just curious :

How does the distribution logic of the Grid interfere with your test intent [ which is basically "I want to run my web application tests against different browser/version/Platform combinations ].

The distribution logic of the Grid is something that your tests should be agnostic. But if you are bent upon having your test run on all nodes, then on a simple level you should just constrain all nodes to just support maxSessions as 1.

That way the Grid will try and find out a new node that can take in an execution request. If none are available, the request just piles up in the Grid's request queue and picked up once a node is available for execution.

Thanks & Regards

Hi Amogh,

Thanks for detailed info.

I'll try to replicate your setup with junit setup and update this thread.

Hi Krishnan,

My initial objective was to reduce test execution time. In order to achieve this have implemented parallel execution with Grid setup. 

But with this I'm covering only single browser. ( each node has single type of browser ) 

Now my 2nd goal is to do browser compatibility testing with grid setup. Each node having unique browser type
