Runners and Running Tests

ATAF ships with three preconfigured test runners. You can extend one of them or build your own using the framework's lifecycle utilities.

Preconfigured Runners

• BasicJUnitRunner — for JUnit.
• BasicTestNGRunner — for TestNG.
• ParallelTestNGRunner — for parallel Cucumber scenario execution with TestNG.

To use one, simply extend it:

import ataf.core.runner.BasicTestNGRunner;

public class TestRunner extends BasicTestNGRunner {

}

Custom Runner

You can also build your own runner by providing the required lifecycle methods through RunnerUtils:

import ataf.core.utils.RunnerUtils;

public class CustomTestRunner {

    public void beforeTestSuite() {
        RunnerUtils.setupTestSuite();
    }

    public void afterTestSuite() {
        RunnerUtils.tearDownTestSuite();
    }
}

Running Tests

Cucumber

mvn clean test -Dcucumber.filter.tags=@smoke

TestNG

mvn clean test -DsuiteXmlFile=testng.xml

JUnit

mvn clean test
