How to run test cases sequentially using testng.xml

[Raju Arelli]

I have written several test classes to test a web application using TestNG. Each and every test classes are independent.(I use Java,TestNG) I have defined my test classes in the testng.xml as below. <test verbose="2" name="Default test" parallel="false" > <classes> <class name="bvtTestCases.TC001_TestCase1"  /> <class name="bvtTestCases.TC002_TestCase2" /> <class name="bvtTestCases.TC003_TestCase3" /> <class name="bvtTestCases.TC004_TestCase4" /> </classes> But the problem is when i run testng.xml , it runs all test classes same time(parallely).As there are 4test classes then it opens 4 web browser instances same time and try to run every test classes same time. But What I need is to run first class first and when it is completed then start running the second class.  can any one help me to do this? I really appreciate the help Thanks, Raju

The easiest way of doing this would be to add preserve-order=true [ This attribute has a relevance only when parallel is set to "false" ]. Additionally you can confine the number of threads by setting thread-count to "1"

It's not working Krishnan. I kept like below as you said.

<test verbose="2" name="Default test" parallel="false" preserve-order="true" thread-count="1" >

<classes>

<class name="bvtTestCases.TC001_TestCase1"  />

<class name="bvtTestCases.TC002_TestCase2" />

<class name="bvtTestCases.TC003_TestCase3" />

<class name="bvtTestCases.TC004_TestCase4" />

</classes>

In that case, you would need to show us the code for all of your test classes [ Trimmed down versions which can be executed would do ]

That way we can execute your reproducible sample code to recreate the problem and tell you what is going wrong.

And oh btw, can you also try adding the below to your <suite> tag ?

parallel="false" preserve-order="true" thread-count="1"
