Running same tests against a large number of websites

Question

I have a need to run the same tests against over 70 websites which are all functionally the same but have different skins. They are all accessed through different URLs howev

Answer 1

You can use the @Factory annotation on the constructor for test class EndToEndTest and give it a dataprovider.

private String url;

@Factory(dataProvider = "urls", dataProviderClass = URLProvider.class)
public EndToEndTest(String url) {
  this.url = url;
}

You need to provide the implementation of the URL data provider class to access the excel or whatever file you want and return an Object[][].

Need to modify the constructors of HomePage and SeleniumBase to pass in the url which you are calling from your @BeforeClass method.

This should create a separate instance for this test class for every url string and call the @Test methods.

If you need to pass in more data than a string URL you can use an object instead. As I can see your passing 4 parameters in your testng.xml for a method.

Parallelism should be pretty simple, guessing you would want to run all the @Test methods for a given url in a single thread. The parallel option would be "classes".
