Currently, I am using selenium to automate tests for a point-of-sale application that requires communication with external devices. However, due to the limitations of an external program managing this interaction, only one browser session can be open at a time to avoid confusion.
In my testng.xml file, I have been structuring my tests as follows:
<suite name="Test Suite" verbose="10" preserve-order="True">
<test name="Item Entry -- Quantity Required -- Basic" annotations="JDK">
<parameter name = "filepath" value = "C:\Java Projects\Gravity\config\US\" />
<classes>
<class name="tests.itementry.quantityrequired.BasicPath"/>
</classes>
</test>
<test name = "Item Entry -- Quantity Required -- Cancel">
<classes>
<class name = "tests.itementry.quantityrequired.Cancel" />
</classes>
</test>
</suite>
I have tried specifying the package instead of the class, but it resulted in the tests running in parallel with multiple browsers open simultaneously. While combining tests into one class is an option, I prefer to keep each scenario as its own class.
If you have any advice on configuring the testng.xml file or organizing test scenarios within TestNG tests, I would greatly appreciate your input.
