Selenium WebDriver and TestNG: Running script in different browsers |Invoke different browsers

In this post will cover how to run a selenium script in different browsers.

To do so we will use TestNG and @Parameters annotation. Using TestNG we can directly pass parameter to test methods from testng.xml.  Below example makes it more clear

Prerequisites:

Download Chromedriver

Download Internet Explorer driver

Java

• Create a java class name BrowserContoller.java in your workspace.
• Create a method setBrowser(String browser) to your class. This method takes a String as input parameter.
• Add the annotation @Parameters ("browser") to this method. Value to the parameter will be passed from xml.

TestNG

• Create a simple tesng.xml name say BrowserControllerTestng.xml
• Define Test name, parameter and its value (firefox, chrome,  iexplore ) and class name.
