Help solicited with parallel testing in multiple browsers and dataprovider

[Anil V Cherian]

Hi All,

I am currently trying to build a webdriver suite using testNG. I am quite new to java and testNG.

Use Case:
Executing a test suite consisting of three testNG classes (each with a single test method and having dataprovider, loaded from DB run time) in parallel in multiple browsers.

So far I was able to run the suite sequentially. Hope that a thread per browser and dataprovider combination may be a solution here. But I am unable to implement it due to lack of knowledge.

When making the tests to run parallel in testNG xml suite, browsers open in parallel, but app URL is being opened only in one instance and data(user name) for all the instances are concatenated and send to the opened app user name field.

Design is in such a way that each test(1 method per test) case extends a base class to get its driver and dataprovider.

I tried to make driver thread safe looking at a nice blog created by Krishnan. But I was not really successful in implementing it for my case. Mainly I would like to have the browser available till end of the suite.

May I request your help for a solution?

Thanks and Kind Regards
Anil

You would need to show us the code you have so far. That would be a good start.

Thanks & Regards

Hi Krishnan,
Thank you for replying to my post. I will share the code by tomorrow.

Thank you

Hi Krishnan,

Hi All,

I tried making the driver thread local. But once the same test class is instantiated from tests per browser, the data being fetched by data provider from DB in two threads is sent to only one of the browser handler which already opened the URL.The second browser still waiting for commands.

I am really lost here. I tried to read a lot of blogs over internet and because of my limited exposure to TestNG framework and Java, I could not find out a solution. May I know what I am trying to do with data provider makes sense in testNG world?

Cheers
Anil

Hi Krishnan,

I have already shared a prototype of the code in my post. Since the original code is  in my office laptop, I am unable to share it.

The idea is to have a modular approach and create a suite on the fly and run the same suite in parallel in different browsers.

Could you pls let me know if the code I shared is not accessible?

Cheers
Anil

Hi All,

I was able to achieve the parallel execution of same test suite in multiple browsers using the isuite listners.

Thank you All for your help.

Cheers

Anil
