The Complete TestNG & Automation Framework Design Course

Learn to use before method and after method in TestNG to set up the driver before each test and close the browser afterward, ensuring teardown despite failures.

Learn how before class and after class annotations in TestNG set up and tear down for an entire test class, executed around all tests with example logs for two tests.

Drive test execution with TestNG xml files by creating a driver xml that defines a sanity test suite and runs two classes to execute all tests.

Include and exclude test methods in a TestNG xml file. The session uses driver2.xml with eBay home and advanced search sanity tests for a dropdown sorting check.

Explore how before test and after test annotations govern execution in TestNG, including their relationship to the test tag in TestNG.xml and interaction with before/after class and method setups.

Learn how before suite and after suite annotations control setup and teardown across the entire TestNG test suite, executing first and last regardless of class placement.

Explore the page factory concept and how to organize web elements with an object repository in a Selenium and TestNG framework, including the home page, advanced search, and results page.

Learn to add a list of web elements in a page factory using a CSS selector with find by, mirroring single elements for maintainability and future test use.

Explore using page factory elements in tests by making web elements public, initializing them with a driver via a constructor, and replacing driver.findElement calls with page elements.

Learn to implement the page object model, a three-layer approach with elements, page classes, and test classes for Selenium or Appium automation, enabling one page per application.

Create an abstract base test to centralize setup and teardown with before/after annotations, initialize the driver and page objects once, and let tests extend it for cleaner design.

Create a page library and app library to centralize page objects, providing a common starting point and simplifying maintenance by initializing pages via constructors and private fields with getters.

Design a flow library to wrap driver actions like navigate to url, get current url, and get title, then integrate with app and page libraries for reusable test flows.

Learn to create and run TestNG groups like P0 and P1, and configure TestNG XML to execute only selected groups with a before method for isolated drivers.

Define and use TestNG parameters by declaring them in xml, injecting into test methods, and running tests dynamically across chrome or firefox with optional defaults.

Learn how to manage test dependencies in TestNG by declaring depends on methods, controlling execution order, and using always run to execute tests regardless of failures.

Learn how to ignore specific tests or classes in TestNG with the ignore annotation, and distinguish ignoring from skipping, including how dependencies and always_run affect execution.

Enable parallel execution in TestNG by configuring suite level parallel with a thread count. Run multiple classes, methods, or tests in parallel, each with its own browser driver.

Discover how to access TestNG html reports by running an xml suite and opening the html report in the test output folder; review passed, failed, skipped tests and execution time.

Use a TestNG data provider to drive tests from excel data read into a 2d array, supplying name, email, and password for each row.

Replace thread.sleep with an implicit wait in the before method to reduce delays. Centralize the base url and page urls in page objects, exposing get page url via app.pages.
