Run testclass several times in sequence

[Ilya Zinkevich]

I have testNG testclass that runs selenium smoke-test on webresource. I need it to be started sequentially as many times as number of strings in input datafile (e.g. xls). And these parameters should be provided to testsuite somehow. Is it any way to run tests this way?

You might want to try using a Factory powered by a data provider, wherein the data provider would feed off of an excel spreadsheet, to create test class instances and the test class can basically have one or more @Test annotated test methods that can use the value passed to its instance to do its task.

Sequential execution can be easily controlled by the data-provider-thread-count and the parallel attribute of the @DataProvider annotation.

With respect to the parameters and the test suite, you would need to share a bit more context around it so that someone in the forum can help you out with an answer.

Hi,
Thanks for idea with Factory. Now is a new issue.
in @BeforeTest method I initialize ChromeDriver like

public WebDriver driver; //TestClass field

driver = new ChromeDriver(capabilities); //in @BeforeTest method

But when flow comes to first @Test, driver appears to be null. Maybe I miss something with Factory?

Please move your WebDriver instantiation from @BeforeTest [ this gets executed ONLY once per <test> tag ] to @BeforeClass (which gets executed before any @Test method in the class is executed by TestNG) or maybe into the Test Class constructor itself.

Thanks & Regards
