How do I run Multiple Parallel Suites in TestNG?

Can TestNG run multiple suites?

• my problem is as follows: I am testing a web-ui using Selenium and TestNG. I have a test suite with many test classes in it. I have a @BeforeSuite method which also has a @Parameters annotation, this method receives as a parameter the browser in which the Selenium test will be run, executing the lines: selenium = new DefaultSelenium("localhost", 4444, browser, "http://localhost:8099"); selenium.start(); The XML I'm using to run the test suite is: <suite name="suite"> <parameter name = "browser" value = "*firefox"/> <test name="allTests"> <classes> <class name="test.webui.MemcachedDeploymentTest" /> </classes> </test> </suite> This works fine and the test runs in Firefox. my problem is that i would like to somehow run this suite again, immediately after the first run finishes, but this time with Chrome as the browser. i now have 2 XML suites, one with Chrome and one with Firefox. Is there any way to run these test suites one after the other automatically? maybe using a third XML?

• Answer:

  Put your parameter tag inside the test tag and create another test tag: <suite name="suite"> <test name="Firefox tests"> <parameter name = "browser" value = "*firefox"/> <classes> <class name="test.webui.MemcachedDeploymentTest" /> </classes> </test> <test name="Chrome tests"> <parameter name = "browser" value = "*chrome"/> <classes> <class name="test.webui.MemcachedDeploymentTest" /> </classes> </test> </suite> Another option that would be less verbose would be to use @Factory.
