Executing specific tests

[Amit]

Hi there,

I am new to automation and using Java + Eclipse IDE + TestNG + Selenium WebDriver.

@BeforeSuite

initializeWebDriver(){

}

@BeforeTest

getURL(){

}

@Test

loginToWebPage() {

}

@Test

SearchSomething(){

}

@Test

GenerateReport(){

}

I have the above methods. For Example, I wish to only execute GenerateReport() method, then how do i do it. Usual path of execution is 

1. Login

2. Search

3. Generate Report

Suggestions / Advice are very much appreciated.

Thanks,

Amit

Hi Amit,

You can invoke any specific test method by specifying that method name in your testng file, but remember your before and after methods will execute in addition to your test method.

<suite name="test" verbose="1">

<test name="CallMethod">

<classes>

<class name="yourclass" />

<methods>

<include name="GenerateReport"></include>

</methods>

</classes>

</test>

</suite>

Here it invokes,

initializeWebDriver() - default

getURL() - default

GenerateReport() - Your method

Do let me know if it didnt help.

Thanks,

Thanks for your prompt reply Uday. But the flow is like 

initializeWebDriver() 

getURL() 

login()

GenerateReport() 

Unless the credentials are provided at login screen i cannot go further, hence is there a way where we are on the next screen after login page and i can directly run a generatereport()

Amit,

In your post, you told us that you need to execute only generateReports() method, so i gave above lines of code.

Now you are asking us to execute Login method also. So below is the code:

<suite name="test" verbose="1">
 <test name="CallMethod">
 <classes>
 <class name="yourclass" />
 <methods>

                                <include name="loginToWebPage"></include>

 <include name="GenerateReport"></include>
 </methods>
 </classes>
 </test>
</suite>

If you want to execute generatereport only after login is successful, then you can update your generatereport method to

@Test(dependsOnMethods = { "loginToWebPage" })
GenerateReport(){
}
