Overview of this book

This book is an incremental guide that will help you learn and use the advanced features of the Selenium toolset including the WebDriver API in various situations to build a reliable test automation. You start off by setting up the test development environment and gain tips on the advanced locater strategy and the effective use of the Selenium WebDriver API. After that, the use of design patterns such as data - driven tests and PageFactory are demonstrated. You will then be familiarised with extending Selenium WebDriver API by implementing custom tasks and setting up your own distributed environment to run tests in parallel for cross-browser testing. Finally, we give you some tips on integrating Selenium WebDriver with other popular tools and testing mobile applications. By the end of this book, you will have learned enough to solve complex testing issues on your own.

Creating and executing the Selenium script in parallel with TestNG

Now that we have our Selenium Grid Hub and nodes ready and configured from previous recipes, it's time to run tests in parallel with this distributed environment.

To run tests in parallel, we need a test framework that supports distributing tests on these nodes. We will use TestNG to run tests in parallel for Selenium tests developed with Java bindings.

TestNG (http://testng.org) is another popular unit testing frameworks used by the Java community after JUnit. TestNG allows us to create tests that can be executed in parallel. We can set up a group of tests or test suites and have parameters configured to run these tests in parallel. It uses a multithreading model to run tests in parallel.

TestNG requires that we have an XML configuration file with details of configurations that are needed to run the tests in parallel. Before starting the run, TestNG reads this configuration file to set up the test.

In this recipe, we...
