TestNG Grouping test cases in TestNG using Selenium WebDriver

Grouping test cases in TestNG:

We can group multiple test methods in a named group.

You can easily classify your test cases based on requirement.

You can perform a specific group of test methods related to a group or multiple groups.

You can create a group of test methods based on the testing type, depending on modules or based on testing types like functional testing, sanity testing etc…

Differentiate specific group test methods from all test methods.

Grouping Syntax:

@Test(groups={"groupname"})

1	@Test(groups={"groupname"})

Grouping Example:

@Test(groups={"sanity"})

1	@Test(groups={"sanity"})

Scenario’s:

Create multiple methods within class.

Before each and every method we use @Test(groups = { “sanity” }) method.

Using groups method we provide multiple group names.

As per group names execute methods from class.

Example: Grouping test cases in TestNG:

package package_Name;

import org.testng.annotations.Test;

public class TestNG_Grouping {

      @Test(groups = { "sanity" })
      public void methodOne() {

            System.out.println("Test method one belonging to sanity group.");
      }

      @Test(groups = { "smoke" })
      public void methodTwo() {

            System.out.println("Test method two belonging to smoke group.");
      }

      @Test(groups = { "sanity" })
      public void methodThree() {

            System.out.println("method three belonging to sanity group.");
      }
}

package package_Name;

import org.testng.annotations.Test;

public class TestNG_Grouping {

@Test(groups = { "sanity" })

public void methodOne() {

System.out.println("Test method one belonging to sanity group.");

}

@Test(groups = { "smoke" })

public void methodTwo() {

System.out.println("Test method two belonging to smoke group.");

}

@Test(groups = { "sanity" })

public void methodThree() {

System.out.println("method three belonging to sanity group.");

}

Running a TestNG group through testng.xml:

1. Execute single group using TestNG.xml file e.g. sanity

If we want to execute only one group from class using TestNG.xml file.

Then add group name into TestNG.xml file then run TestNG. xml file.

&lt;?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?&gt;

&lt;suite name="Sample Suite"&gt;

  &lt;test name="testing"&gt;

           &lt;groups&gt;

                    &lt;run&gt;

                        &lt;include name="sanity"/&gt;

                    &lt;/run&gt;

           &lt;/groups&gt;

    &lt;classes&gt;

           &lt;class name="package_Name.TestNG_Grouping" /&gt;

    &lt;/classes&gt;

  &lt;/test&gt;

&lt;/suite&gt;

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<run>

</run>

</groups>

</classes>

</test>

</suite>

Note: Right click on testng.xml and run it as testng suite.

2. Execute Multiple groups using TestNG.xml file e.g. smoke / sanity

If we want to execute Multiple group’s from class using TestNG.xml file.

Then add Multiple group name’s into TestNG.xml file then run TestNG. xml file.

&lt;?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?&gt;

&lt;suite name="Sample Suite"&gt;

  &lt;test name="testing"&gt;

            &lt;groups&gt;

      &lt;run&gt;

        &lt;include name="sanity"/&gt;

        &lt;include name="smoke"/&gt;

      &lt;/run&gt;

            &lt;/groups&gt;

    &lt;classes&gt;

       &lt;class name="package_Name.TestNG_Grouping" /&gt;

    &lt;/classes&gt;

  &lt;/test&gt;

&lt;/suite&gt;
