How to pass parameter through testng xml file to a test case in Selenium Webdriver

Answer 1

Hello Revathi, to pass parameter through testng.xml file to a test case, we can define the parameters in the testng.xml file and then reference those parameters in the source files. Create a java test class, say, ParameterizedTest.java and add a test method say parameterizedTest() to the test class. This method takes a string as input parameter. Add the annotation @Parameters(“browser”) to this method.

public class ParameterizedTest {

@Test

@Parameters("browser")

public void parameterizedTest(String browser){

if(browser.equals("firefox")){

System.out.println("Open Firefox Driver");

}else if(browser.equals("chrome")){

System.out.println("Open Chrome Driver");

}

}

}

We could set the parameter using the below syntax in the testng.xml file:

<parameter name="browser" value="firefox"/>

Here, name attribute represents the parameter name and value represents the value of that parameter.
