How to run multiple test cases without running before and after class again and again

Question

I want to know how run multiple files without running the before class() again and again.

E.g.: Consider i am writing test case for GMail

1. login.java : Which contains complete testing of the login page
2. inbox.java : Which contains complete testing of the inbox
3. spam.java : Which contains complete testing of the spam folder page
4. label.java : Which contains complete testing of create/edit/deleting of labels

Now every file contains a before class which has

1. calling the browser
2. input username and password
3. clicking the submit button and after class which logs out

Using TestNG when I run, every time it will login, test for the particular file and logs out

It needs to run like this: It should login, then test the inbox, spam and label then logs out.

Is it the right way to execute? Or is there a solution for this?

Answer 1

You may try this-

public class GmailContentTesting
{
 public WebDriver driver;
 public String baseUrl ="http://www.gmail.com";
 @BeforeClass
 public void setup()
 {
 /*System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", "Browsers/chromedriver.exe");
 driver = new ChromeDriver();*/
 driver =new FirefoxDriver();
 driver.get(baseUrl);
 driver.manage().window().maximize();
 driver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(10, TimeUnit.SECONDS);
 }
 @BeforeTest
 public void gmailLogin()
 {
 WebElement EmailTextbox= driver.findElement(By.xpath("//input[contains(@id,'Email')]"));
 EmailTextbox.clear();
 EmailTextbox.sendKeys("your email");
 WebElement nextButton =driver.findElement(By.xpath("//input[contains(@id,'next')]"));
 nextButton.click();
 WebElement PasswdTextbox =driver.findElement(By.xpath("//input[contains(@id,'Passwd')]"));
 PasswdTextbox.clear();
 PasswdTextbox.sendKeys("Your Passwd");
 WebElement SigninButton =driver.findElement(By.xpath("//input[contains(@id,'signIn')]")); 
 SigninButton.click();
 }
 @Test(priority=1)
 public void inboxTesting()
 {
 Write your code for complete testing of the inbox
 }
 @Test(priority=2)
 public void spamTesting()
 {
 Write your code for complete testing of the spam folder page
 }
 @Test(priority=3)
 public void lableTesting()
 {
 Write your code for complete testing of create/edit/deleting of labels
 }
 @AfterTest
 public void Logout()
 {
 Write your code for Gmail Logout.
 }

• Kate Paulk: Could you please explain how your code prevents the BeforeTest and AfterTest routines from running before and after each Test routine?

Answer 2

You can try using @BeforeSuite

You have to group your test classes into a suite in the testng.xml and annotate the setup method in one of your test classes.

This link provides a nice tutorial: http://examples.javacodegeeks.com/enterprise-java/testng/testng-beforesuite-example/

Answer 3

You can do it as:

1. Have a static driver inside the test class; static WebDriver driver = null;
2. Create a single @BeforeClass, which will initialize the driver to your desired browser, navigate to gmail and login.
3. Have @Test annotations for all the 4 cases.
4. Remove/comment out all other tags from those individual classes. Just have them as methods. Then call those methods from inside your @Test methods.
5. Finally have a @AfterClass to logout.

Answer 4

You can use something like this in your script class ;

public class gmailTest extends BaseTest
{
 @Test
 public void loginLogoutTest()
 {
 inboxTest();
 spamTest();
 }
public void inboxTest()
{
 log.info("Executing inboxTest");
 //Your code here
 log.info("loginToApplication has been Successfully Excecuted");
}
public void spamTest()
 {
 log.info("Executing spamTest");
 //Your code here
 log.info("spamTest has been Successfully Excecuted");
 }

}

1. Now call it where ever required
2. Here we have only one @test so your gmail login will login one time from @beforetest and logout once from @aftertest.

Hope it help and revert if still more doubts.

• RANA DINESH: i am using it in my script and working as expected so can try ,it will work and will reduce the code as we can reuse the codes here
