Selenium Framework for Beginners 23 | TestNG Grouping | How to group tests

[@shafeekmuhammed1175]

Hello Raghav, Your videos helped me a lot to get a JOB in Accenture as "Test Automation lead" 7 months before . and am so happy in my work . If i have some doubts on any area I come back and refer your video again :)

[@RaghavPal]

All the best Shafeek

[@ashesds1]

One interesting point. If you have methods annotated with BeforeTest,BeforeSuite etc they will not be run automatically if they are not included in the groups also. If we want the setup and tear down methods to run irrespective of your group classifications we could use alwayrun=true for the Before and after methods

Thanks for the inputs Ashes

There is a type on the multiple group example. If a test method belongs to both included and excluded group, the excluded group takes the priority and the test method will be excluded from the test execution.

Hello Raghav, I was wondering if its possible to execute certain tests only when the combination of groups match. For example, if one test has groups as "app" and "sanity" And There are other test methods present as well in the project/class. I want to executive tests which have "app" And "sanity" tags only and tests which have only app or sanity tags shouldn't run, is this possible? If so could you share some reference please? Thank you in advance.

[@RaghavPal]

Hi Dinesh, you can create a separate testng.xml file and in that include the groups you need, So when you run this file, only the included groups will execute This link has good examples - www.javatpoint.com/testng-groups

Hi Raghav, Very good explanation. I have one question, something like this we can using "Batch" in testNG. What is the difference between batch and groups and when to use which one ?

[@RaghavPal]

Hi Hukam, can you show me some example or link where batch is used, so I can refer and check

[@svpradeep]

Hello Raghav, thanks for the above, clarification - can we club groups+parameters for parallel testing on testng.xml and run them

[@RaghavPal]

Hi Pradeep, you should be able to do that. Pls try

[@pujasaha5452]

Hi Raghav..Thank u for the amazing content. Is it possible to control test case execution from datasheet instead of groups. Like can we provide in the datasheet with a column named"Execution Required" with value"Y/N" for each test case name.

[@RaghavPal]

Yes, Puja you can do, will have to add script for that

[@karnataka8863]

Group tag comes between suite and test tag right ?

[@RaghavPal]

Hi, In TestNG, the tag can be used at both the level and the level to group test methods together. At the level, the tag can be used to specify which groups of test methods should be included or excluded from the entire suite of tests. e.g. ... At the level, the tag can be used to specify which groups of test methods should be included or excluded from a specific test. e.g. In short, The tag can be used at both the level and the level in testng.xml file

Thanks for another great video. There's something I'm stuck on. I have a class with multiple tests in it as per your example here. The results that get reported on the HTML report say the number of tests run is 1. It equates running one class with running one test when it reports. Is it possible to get it to report three tests run when I run one class with three tests in it, as per your example?

[@RaghavPal]

Phil Yes, it is possible to get your test report to report three tests run when you run one class with three tests in it. To do this, you need to use a different test reporting tool. The default test reporting tool in Selenium Java is the JUnit test runner. The JUnit test runner only reports the number of test classes that were executed, not the number of test methods. To get a more detailed test report, you can use a different test reporting tool, such as TestNG or Allure Report. TestNG and Allure Report can both report the number of test methods that were executed, as well as the number of test classes. To use TestNG or Allure Report with Selenium Java, you need to add the appropriate dependency to your project. You can do this using Maven or Gradle. Once you have added the TestNG or Allure Report dependency to your project, you need to configure your test classes to use the appropriate test runner. To do this, you can use the `@Test` annotation. Here is an example of how to configure a test class to use the TestNG test runner: ```java import org.testng.annotations.Test; public class MyTestClass { @Test public void test1() { // ... } @Test public void test2() { // ... } @Test public void test3() { // ... } } ``` To run your test class using TestNG, you can use the following command: ``` testng MyTestClass.java ``` To run your test class using Allure Report, you can use the following command: ``` allure generate allure-results --clean -o allure-report ``` Once you have run your test class, you can view the test report in your web browser. The test report will show you the number of test methods that were executed, as well as the number of test classes. I hope this helps

[@philb4462]

@@RaghavPal Thank you so much for your detailed reply. What you wrote is what you showed in your video. That uses TestNG and so did I. When I open the html report it says 1 test was run despite it being 3 tests in 1 class. It reports class numbers and calls them tests while not reporting actual test numbers. That is TestNG doing that. I think it's because in the .xml file that class sits in a single tag. I need multiple such tags with different classes in them to show I want multiple tests reported. By doing that, I get multiple browser windows opening which is slower and potentially overloads the computer if I have hundreds of tests. My guess it what I'm hoping for is just not how TestNG works. I don't know why though. It seems fairly obvious to me that a class is not the same thing as a test, yet that's how it's categorised in the html report.

may be the case, if I get to know more on this will share

what if there one group defined at class level . but one of method inside that class we are excluding it from testng.xml now if we run class will it run that method too? because method we are excluding but it is still under that class???
