Modify ReportNG to show tests with known defects in separate column

During the automation regression circles there are some defects that are carried over through the iterations. So these tests appear as failed to ReportNG. Due to the fact that the new tests may introduce new defects that appear as failed to the report as well, some time is difficult and time consuming to distinguish between the old and the new defects.In this post we will describe a technique to illustrate the tests with the old defects in...

Get Table Data

One of the most common tasks in our project is to retrieve data from a table in order to assert. With this post I will try to describe a unified way to get the required data from any table with a specific format so my assertions are well defined. The assertion points to be well defined I usually prefer to have my actual data in the form of a Map(key,value) so my assertions are in the form Assert.assertEquals(data.get(key),expected_value) I selected the key value for my map to be the value of the first column with value a second map containing...

Regression Suites

In our agile project we utilized regression testing with test automation and continuous executions of our automated test scripts. This process served us well while the test execution lasted less than 4 hours but started to create major problems when the total number of test scripts increased and the execution time exceeded 1 day. A quick relief to our problem came with introduction of parallel execution of test scripts but still in cases were the...
