Selenium WebDriver data driven Framework key features
  • It will support only .xls files as Input data feed.
  • It will use Apache POI API to read data from .xls files and write results In .xls files.
  • It will use TestNG-XSLT Reports to generate results reports In HTML format.
  • You can feed multiple combinations of test data for executing single test case. Example : Validating Log in form's username and password fields with different sets of data.
  • You can set Test suite execution mode (Test Suite To Be Executed or Not) In .xls file.
  • You can set Test case execution mode (Test Case To Be Executed or Not) In .xls file.
  • You can set Test data execution mode (Test Data To Be Executed or Not) In .xls file.
  • Reporting test case execution results (Pass, Fail or Skip) In .xls file after test case execution.
  • Reporting test data execution results (Pass, Fail or Skip) In .xls file after test data execution.
  • It will use Log4j - Apache Logging Services to generate execution log In applog.log file.
  • Easy to maintain software web application's web page elements as It will use object repository to fetch web page element.
  • Easy to understand, maintain and integrate with any software web application's test process.

    I love your tutorial
    currently your framework only have read input data from excel file
    If I want to separate input and output excel file

    looking forward on your tutorial on this features, thank you.

  35. I am new to Selenium Webdriver Testng and trying to Develop Data Driven framework using CSVReader (Open CSV)

    I have 5 tests in Testng and have to run those all on different urls (from CSV file). So basically I have to pick a different url and client, but other pages, elements remain same.

    My Question is, Where do I put while loop so that it reads first line and execute all the tests and then read second line and so on.

    I tried initialize CSV reader at class level, before suite, before method etc. but it throws error, it works for a particular test if I am putting insside @Test but that doesn't resolve the purpose, I couldn't find any relevant answer on the internet.
