🎯 What You Will Learn in This Video

  • What is TestNG parameterization?
  • How to pass parameters from TestNG XML file
  • How to use @Parameters annotation in TestNG
  • Real-time Selenium example with parameters
  • Benefits of parameterization in automation testing
  • Common TestNG interview questions on parameterization
💡 Pro Tip: Parameterization helps you run the same test with different data without duplicating test cases.

📌 What is TestNG Parameterization?

TestNG Parameterization allows you to pass test data from external sources such as testng.xml file into your test methods. This makes your Selenium automation framework flexible, reusable, and scalable.

🚀 Benefits of TestNG Parameterization

  • Run same test with multiple inputs
  • Avoid hardcoded test data
  • Improve test reusability
  • Support cross-browser testing
  • Easy environment configuration

💻 Using @Parameters Annotation in TestNG

import org.testng.annotations.Parameters;
import org.testng.annotations.Test;

public class LoginTest {

    @Test
    @Parameters({"browser", "url"})
    public void loginTest(String browser, String url) {
        System.out.println("Browser: " + browser);
        System.out.println("URL: " + url);
    }
}
