Selenium Grid Parallel test execution

In the last post we discussed how selenium grid works and how to configure selenium grid in greater detail. In this post we will move further and try to run multiple tests in parallel in different environments like

• Different Operating systems
• Different browsers

Distributed architecture

The distributed architecture we will work will look something like this

Parallel execution

Parallel execution of test can be achieved using testing framework TestNG In TestNG there is an option called Parallel which you can see from here

Here is the complete video of the above discussion Here is the complete code from the above video

Parallel Execution Test Code

public class ParallelTest {

	// RemotewebDriver instance
	public static RemoteWebDriver driver;

	@BeforeTest
	@Parameters({ "platform", "browserName", "remoteurl" })
	public void beforeTest(String platform, String browserName, String remoteurl)
			throws MalformedURLException {

		DesiredCapabilities cap = null;

		if (browserName.equals("firefox")) {
			cap = new DesiredCapabilities().firefox();
			cap.setBrowserName("firefox");
		} else if (browserName.equals("chrome")) {
			cap = new DesiredCapabilities().chrome();
			cap.setBrowserName("chrome");
		}

		cap.setPlatform(Platform.WIN8_1);

		driver = new RemoteWebDriver(new URL(remoteurl), cap);

		driver.navigate().to("http://www.google.com");

	}

	@Test
	public void GoogleSearch() throws InterruptedException {

		driver.findElementByName("q").sendKeys("execute automation");

		driver.findElementByName("btnG").click();

		Thread.sleep(3000);
	}

	@Test
	public void ClickExecuteAutomation() {
		driver.findElementByPartialLinkText("Execute Automation").click();
	}

}
