How to execute Selenium WebDriver test cases parallel in multiple Browser using TestNG ?
Pre-Requisite:
Read these article before proceeding with this post:
Configuring Selenium Webdriver in Eclipse with TestNG plugin installation.
I suppose that you are familiar with how to add jar files to your project and How to add any class, folder and XML.
Most of the time we find it hard to do compatibility testing of certain web-page on various Browsers and it takes a big chunk of time for its execution on various set of Browser and also on various instance of Browser.
TestNG has provided us with an option through its Parameter feature, through which we could run the same test script written in Selenium WebDriver parallel to all installed Browser on our system?
Scripts and Steps to execute Script
1- Go to your Eclipse Project –> Right Click on Project –> Click On New–> others–> Pop up would appear–> Click on XML –> Select XML File –> Click on Next –> New XML File pop up would appear–> Enter the name of XML and click on Finish
2- Your XML file would appear like this
<?xml version=“1.0” encoding=“UTF-8”?>
<suite name=“Suite_2” parallel=“tests”>
<test name=“Funaction Test Cases “>
<parameter name=“browser” value=“Chrome” />
<classes>
<class name=“com.testng.Test” />
</classes>
</test> <!– Test –>
<test name=“Funaction Test Cases_Firefox “>
<parameter name=“browser” value=“Firefox” />
<classes>
<class name=“com.testng.Test” />
</classes>
</test>
<test name=“Funaction Test Cases_IE “>
<parameter name=“browser” value=“IE” />
<classes>
<class name=“com.testng.Test” />
</classes>
</test>
</suite> <!– Suite –>
Download XML file from here
Now understand the tags of XML that I have marked Bold in XML file
Parallel: This is being used to run tests parallelly in different browser
suite name: This is the name of your test suit
test name : kind of test cases (you may give a name like Regression, Sanity,Smoke, or anything that make you to make better test execution ) like I have given name to this test case as Generic test
Classes: name of class that you want to add in this test execution
Most important one is
<parameter name="browser" value="FF"></parameter>
Here browser has been taken as a parameter name(you can give a name as per your choice) and FF for Firefox, IE for Internet Explorer, and Chrome for Chrome Browser are the various values given to this browser parameter would be called in our code.
3- Now its time to understand how you have to use the parameter name in the Java program. Since parameter is defined for Browsers. Since you are trying to use the TestNG framework we would write two function first one to launch Browser and Second one to close Browser
Create new java class in your Java Project
Steps to create a new java class:: right-click on project ||New|| Click on Class||Enter the name of the class and Hit on the finish.
The name of my java class is Browser.java so just create one class with the name Browser and copy and paste the following code in eclipse.
But before moving ahead i would suggest to go through following two post
1- Launching Chrome Browser
2- CHALLENGES TO RUN SELENIUM WEBDRIVER SCRIPTS IN IE BROWSER
package com.testng;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.chrome.ChromeDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.firefox.FirefoxDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.ie.InternetExplorerDriver;
import org.testng.annotations.AfterMethod;
import org.testng.annotations.Parameters;
//import org.testng.annotations.AfterTest;
import org.testng.annotations.BeforeMethod;
public class Browser {
WebDriver driver;
@BeforeMethod /* The annotated method will be run before all tests in this suite have run */
//browser is the name of parameter that we have used in xml
@Parameters("browser") /* this annotation is used to insert parameter in test*/
public void openBroswer(String browser){
/*Comparing the value of parameter name if this is FF then It would launch Firefox and script that would run is as follows */
if(b.equalsIgnoreCase("Chrome"))
{
System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", "path of chromedriver.exe");
driver = new ChromeDriver();
} else if (b.equalsIgnoreCase("FF"))
{
driver = new FirefoxDriver();
} else if (b.equalsIgnoreCase("IE"))
{
System.setProperty("webdriver.ie.driver", "path of IEDriver.exe");
driver = new InternetExplorerDriver();
}
}
@AfterMethod /* this annotation would run once test script execution would complete*/
public void closeBrowser()
{
try{
driver.wait(15000);
}
catch(Exception e)
{}
driver.close();
driver.quit();
}
}
4- Since we have created Browser class in which we have used the parameter defined in XML, Now we should create one more class that is our Test class, This class would inherit Browser class for launching Browser before executing scripts under @Test annotation and for Closing Browser once execution of scipt under @Test annotation get completed.
here I have given the name of this class is Test
package com.testng;
import org.openqa.selenium.By;
import org.testng.Reporter;
import org.testng.annotations.Test;
@Test
public class Test extends Browser{
public void test(){
/* in this test we are searching selenium in Google and clicking on first link in Google Result*/
driver.get("http://www.google.com");
driver.findElement(By.id("lst-ib")).sendKeys("selenium");
driver.findElement(By.id("lst-ib").sendKeys(Keys.ENTER);
//driver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(15, TimeUnit.SECONDS);
try {
Thread.sleep(5000);
} catch (InterruptedException e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e.printStackTrace();
}
driver.findElement(By.xpath("//*[@id='rso']/div[1]/div/div/h3/a")).click();
try {
Thread.sleep(5000);
} catch (InterruptedException e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
}
5- Now its time to execute Test-Case
Steps:
Right Click on Test.java file and –> Run As –> Run Confinguration –> In pop up Go Testng –> Right Click on Testng and Click on New –> Give name to your Run Configuration, Browser Class and select your Xml just by Browsing in front of Suit –> hit on Finish and this would run your test
Hope this post would help you to run your selenium test case parallel.
Friends I have tried these scripts on my system and are running well so if you find any missing bracket or braces missing then please do the correction on your own but Script is correct.
Hi, what does it mean by “select your Xml just by Browsing in front of Suit”?
Note: I’m a total newbie.
In the image you would be able to see Suite radio button and select this radio button and click on Browse and Select the XML file that we have created above.
–>
Thanks For your explanation, I am working on a similar flow, i am trying to restrict and reuse of existing open browsers.
This article of yours has helped me and i found it usefull…
Thanks for your kind word, We are happy that it really helps you!!
I read the your blog but could not get XML file as you mentioned in –
Scripts and Steps to execute Script
1st Time Could you help me
I am using Eclipse Indigo Version.
Thanks,
Shailesh
Hi Shailesh
I have just mention the line of code that would be included in xml for parallel execution of test in Browsers, In this post I have not attached any xml file but the lines of xnl code.So please go again to the heading
Scripts and Steps to execute Script.
Ok
– Now I get my XML but’s it name is “testng-customesuite.xml” is there any difference between “testng.xml” and “testng-customesuite.xml”. It is present in Temp Folder i.e. C:Document and SettingsshaileshLocal SettingsTempTestng-eclipse 15466544(foldername)testng-customesuite.xml
– I copied that file into my project because there is no way(or does not found) in eclipse(indo version) to view the XML. But your mentioned way does not work for me. 1- Go to your Eclipse Project –> Right Click on Project –> Click On New–> others–> Pop up would appear–> Click on XML –> Select XML File –> Click on Next –> New XML File pop up would appear–> Enter the name of XML and click on Finish
– Also in Code
if(browser.equalsIgnoreCase(“FF”))
{
System.out.println(“Firefox driver would be used”);
driver = new FirefoxDriver();
}
It displays error as browser cannot be resolved.
Right now I able to run Parallel test Case by following your step in one browser. Thanks.
But Right now I not able to run test case into two different browser.
Nothing sepecial is in xml name so you can given any name to your xml.
But if you are able to launch only one browser for test execution, then there might be possibility that you would not have added Driver.exe ‘s path in your code. So to read how we add this read this post carefully http://abodeqa.com/2013/02/21/launch-chrome-browser-using-webdriver/ hope this will help you in finding your mistak in code
Hi Dwarika,
My Question is not how to luach other browser like Chrome or IE Or Firefox.
My Question – In parallel testing I not able to lauch the Test Case in Different Browser like One in Chrome and Other is IE. Because it displays error at –
if(browser.equalsIgnoreCase(“FF”))
{
System.out.println(“Firefox driver would be used”);
driver = new FirefoxDriver();
}
It displays error as “browser”[in browser.equalsIgnoreCase(“FF”)] cannot be resolved.
I can also send you mail of code if needed please give your mail id.
Thanks for Prompt Reply!
Shailesh.
Hope this is happening due to the version of FF, so why not try it on FF18 in place of current Firefox 20.0.1
I am not sure but this could be the possible reason.
Hi Dwarka,
Today I read your blog for Data Driven – http://abodeqa.com/tag/junitor-testng-data-driven-with-webdriver/
But in there you can not mention how to write to Excel of Result of Execution? I think that is important for reader like me. Thanks Buddy 🙂
Regards,
Shailesh
Most welcome, As per your suggestion I will put one article on writing data in Excel file..So just wait for my next post,
Hi Sir I’m trying to run test suite (tsestNG). But, when i run it’s opening multiple browser windows and then run one by one (Suppose in test suite have a 5 classes its open 5 browser windows and then run one by one). I want to run one by one but, after one class execution is complete then browser windows should close and then fresh window should open and run………
my xml file is
remove parallel=”methods” or parallel=”tests” or parallel=”classes” which ever you have used in your suite
Hi Dwarika,
I able to solve the Problem by changing just –
@Parameter ({“browser”})
//My setup method.
But Right Now My test cases run Sequentially one after another. I followed all your step. WHY?
My TestNG version – 6.8
Thanks,
Shailesh
Might be this is happening because each Browser takes different time to be launched through WebDriver so might be you would be getting it like sequentially.
hai i also have same prblm pls snd me how to do compatibility testing on browser using selenium ..i will install testNG also but i got error msg.
Waiting for Reply Sir, its urgent.
it might look like silly question but it important to me
Hi
i am unable to browse the class while doing:
Right Click on Test.java file and –> Run As –> Run Confinguration –> In pop up Go Testng –> Right Click on Testng and Click on New –> Give name to your Run Configuration, Browser Class and select your Xml just by Browsing in front of Suit –> hit on Finish and this would run your test
And therefore unable to run the test.
Please help!
Great Article and easy to follow…. Thanks a lot 🙂
Hey Dwarika Dhish Mishra,
Please tell me to configure in eclipse Helios TestNG with Grid pls provide me steps.
Thanks !!
In Advance
Hello
Primarily thank you for this article.
I have stuck up with an issue, hope that will be cleared with this blog.
My Issue is i am running my jbehave (maven + selenium) stories in the browser i specified,
But i need to run in multiple browsers with out switching.. means first it has to comple story in one browser and next with another browser.. Can you plzz help me out..
T
u can run multiple xml files within 1 xml file (testng). there is tag called . So create one file for each browser type, combine all of them into testngMaster.xml. Run testngMaster.xml, hope this helps

I have the same problem, could you fix it?
I’ve the same problem,please reply me as soon as possible.
Hi,
sometimes this problem comes whle running your tests using TestNG.
To resolve this error, you can do one thing that the file where you have created method for opening the browser (i.e the method to launch the application), just put a the below line with the method as:-
public void openBrowser(@Optional(“firefox”) String Browser, @Optional(“”) String AppURL)
{
// Here your code for launching the app goes…..
}
Your error goes away…..after running this code..
Please let me know if you are still facing such issue.
Thanks

Hi, I am new on selenium. I want to run selenium test case from console using webdriver in java. So please provide me appropriate information regarding this. What packages will be needed and what are steps need to follow for running this. Thanks in advance.
For the same you can use ANT or Maven
My question is related to
–driver.findElement(By.id(“gbqfq”)).sendKeys(“selenium”);
There are no id’s in my FF with id “gbqfq”..
–driver.findElement(By.xpath(“//ol[@id=’rso’]/li[1]//h3/a”)).click();
from where did u get this Xpath — i am getting positional xPath by righclicking on third option..
—How do we generalize that by default it should pick 3rd option for any search…
i was searching for testng and it didnt click on third option.But it worked well for selenium
I am getting NULL Pointer Exception

@akshatktshat
I have mailed you the solution so try that once and then let me know.
Thanks Dwatika….Yeah it worked … i guess i need to learn few things about TestNG.
Hi Mate,
I am having null pointer exception too so I wonder if you can share email that you sent to @akshatktshat please
cheers
Hello Dwarika,
I have copy and pasted the same code and the same XML written by you.
All the browser gets open parallel. But after finish the task in one browser, it get started in another than after finishing task in 2nd it gets performed in 3rd browser.
I suppose the same action should get performed in all the browsers parallel.
Please help me out.
Thanks in advance.
Actually each browser takes their time to launch and due to this you would be feeling like each browser is opening one by one…
Yes Dwarika ,you are correct.
Thanks for helping me out.
I must appreciate your effort for writing these blogs.
It helps me a lot

@Niyati
There is problem in your xml …try to write allabove code manual because i have found it few time that copying above code is introducing some random string so try it manually or drop me a mail, i will send you the xml file that you can use for parallel execution
@Dwarika
I solved my all error in above program There is a problem in xml file only
Modified XMl File :
Btw Thanks again for such a nice concept 😀

Browser is not getting maximized completely during execution of Web driver programs.
Please suggest me.
@Rajani
use this line of code
driver.manage().window().maximize();
just after your this line of code
driver = new FirefoxDriver();
Hope this would help you to maximize your window
Thank you!!
First of all thanks for quick reply.. but I heard that web driver by default maximize the browser where as in RC we have to use the command selenium.windowMaximize()..
Please correct me if I am wrongh..
Might be, I would be missing this information, but i am telling you with experience that we need to write code to maximize the browser in general.
hi i am new to testng . how do i give runtime arguments to testng vi ant ?? i want to create a runnable jar of my tests from command line with command line arguments . browser is firefox only.
I am also exploring this, and once i would find anything would like to share it on this blog.
Hi,
I am able to open 2 parallel browsers using XML file. But all the executions of 2 tests are running in only one browser. Please help !!
Hi Dwarika,

Please downgrade your firefox or try most recent Selenium Standalone jar. This problem occurs only when Standalone jar’s version does not support the current version of Firefox.
So try this once again with downgrading the firefox
Thanks Dwarika,
I have used latest jar file now it is working fine.
Thank you and please be in touch with blog by liking its facebook page or by email following
Hi Dwarika,
Currently i am working on Object Repository of selenium.
I want to get the attribute value of all the element present on a web page along with the count of the element.
So please suggest me what should i do first and how can i do that.
Thanks in Advance!
@Manish
Please search Web, u can get plenty- Here is one example:
driver.findElement(By.id(“idoftheelem”)).getAttribute(“value”);
@Dwarika
Nice and excellent!
Thanks for your time and help!
Have u ever worked with BDD (RobotFramework / JBehave)
Actually currently working on these topics and very soon will start posting on it
@Dwarika,
If we use the single and same WebDriver object for more than 1 class/test for Parallel runs, will this create problem ?
Because more than one class are using the samea WebDriver object (though for IEDriver and FFdriver are separate things)
Thanks
No we are not using same object in multiple classes, actually here we are using Parametrization and here we are just changing the parameter with FF, IE or with Chrome and whenever code is seeing IE or FF or Chrome then it is calling the respective browser.
Thanks for the reply!
Sorry, I did not see any JUnit specific topi, so posting here.
I need your advice.
I am using – JUnit +Eclipse +Java+Webdriver.
I want to use Assumes in my Java files, so if the 1st method fails, the subsequent methods won’t run.
For this, I tried to use Corollaries.java which is at Github.com
My example Java file:
——————-
import junit.framework.Assert;
import org.junit.Rule;
import org.junit.contrib.assumes.Corollaries;
import org.junit.runner.RunWith;
import……………………
@RunWith(Corollaries.class)
public class myC()
{
}
——————————–
My problem is, I could not understand how to use it.
I put the Corollaries.java in my package.
But getting error at —–
Assumes assumptions = method.getAnnotation(Assumes.class);
The error says that Assumes class is not extending the Annotations.
Can u help.
Best regards,
hi Dwarika,
Thanks for writing this …..
How to distribute tests among different browsers?
Have to run some of the tests on 1 browser, some on other to distribute the load (I have 40 tests in excel sheet, so takes more than an hour to complete the test, so thought, distributing them among different browsers will help out) so I’m exploring selenium grid,
Have registered hub and nodes, have run one test ex.
DesiredCapabilities capability = DesiredCapabilities.firefox();
capability.setCapability(“browser”, “firefox”);
capability.setCapability(“browser_version”, “Linux”);
capability.setCapability(“os”, “7”);
capability.setCapability(“os_version”, “17.0”);
capability.setCapability(“browserstack.debug”, “true”);
WebDriver driver = new RemoteWebDriver(new URL(“http://localhost:4444/wd/hub”), capability);
driver.get(“http://www.google.com”);
But it runs only once and on 1 browser at a time. (I can parametrize it with TestNg and run same with different browsers parallel like you said, but it runs same test in different browsers not distributes the tests)
So how should I modify it to distribute my tests let say open 5 browsers (1st browser runs-1st 8 tests, 2nd runs-next 8 tests and so on)?
I’m Using
Java+ WebDriver+Maven+TestNg and controlling tests on Jenkins
This code is use to run same test case in multiple browser. but on the same machines.

Hi Dwarika Dhish Mishra,
Thank you for your blog, for giving a chance to others learn from you!
My question might be simple, but I struggle to find a solution. In your example you run in parallel tests on different browser type.
I have key-driven build framework where each test cases set are in Excel spreadsheet. For example I ran spreadsheet S1 and S2 where S1 has all login test cases and S2 has all email validation test cases. I have more than 2 of cause.
Question:
I do NOT want to run S1,S2… on FF and IE on two different browsers. How to set up testng.xml to be able to run S1, S2 etc in parallel using same browser, say FF. I want to speed up execution of all test cases against one browser.
Thank you for your help,
Natalie
I tried this program it is just showing the result . it did not perform any action on browser.

Hi,

Can you share your xml.. ..
Hi Dwarika,
I got solution from this Article.Thank you.
Wow, what a explanation!! Thanks a lot man 🙂 Your blog is awesome and also I’m wondering about the discussion here. All my doubts are cleared in your discussion. Thank you very much. I would like to visit your blog often. Keep Rocking.
Hi Dwarika!
In xml containing 5 classes, i have given parallel = “classes” thread-count=”2″.But I want to run the test cases sequentially but I do not want to make changes in the xml file. When I tried using listener (IAnnotationTransformer) anotation.setSequential=”true” and I also tried at the @Test by providing sequential=”True” and singleThreaded=”True”. It still executes in parallel. Is there anyway to solve this.
Thanks,
Sunil
