TestNG与DataProvider一次执行一次测试一次迭代

Question

I am using data provider to pass data to each of the test methods. Let's assume there are 2 rows in the data provider.

@Test(dataProvider = "TestData")
public void firstTest(String data){
   //Code
}

@Test(dataProvider = "TestData")
public void secondTest(String data){
   //Code
}

@Test(dataProvider = "TestData")
public void thirdTest(String data){
   //Code
}

Currently all iterations of single test method runs and then the second test method runs... For example:

firstTest()
firstTest()

secondTest()
secondTest()

thirdTest()
thirdTest()

But I want to run in the following order.

firstTest()
secondTest()
thirdTest()

firstTest()
secondTest()
thirdTest()

Below is the xml for TestNG.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE suite SYSTEM "http://testng.org/testng-1.0.dtd">

<suite name="Test-Automation" parallel="methods" thread-count="2" verbose="1">
    <test name="Suite Test" parallel="methods" thread-count="2" verbose="1">
        <listeners>
             <listener class-name="GroupByInstanceEnabler"></listener>
        </listeners>

        <classes>
            <class name="SampleTest">
                <methods>
                    <include name="firstTest"/>
                    <include name="secondTest"/>
                    <include name="thirdTest"/>
                </methods>
            </class>
        </classes>
    </test>
</suite>

The GroupByListener method is defined as below.

import org.testng.ISuite;
import org.testng.ISuiteListener;

public class GroupByInstanceEnabler implements ISuiteListener {

    @Override
    public void onStart(ISuite suite) {
        System.out.println("Hello");
        suite.getXmlSuite().setGroupByInstances(true);
    }

    @Override
    public void onFinish(ISuite suite) {

    }
}

I have checked the below 2 questions and it does not seem to work for me.

TestNG iterate over test data instead of test methods

TestNG - Dataprovider at Class level test annocation

You should be using a TestNG factory that is powered by a data provider.

Here's a sample that shows you how to use TestNG factories coupled with a data provider.

package com.rationaleemotions.stackoverflow.qn48399410;

import org.testng.annotations.DataProvider;
import org.testng.annotations.Factory;
import org.testng.annotations.Test;

public class SampleTestClass {
    private int iteration;

    @Factory(dataProvider = "dp")
    public SampleTestClass(int iteration) {
        this.iteration = iteration;
    }

    @Test
    public void firstTest() {
        System.err.println("firstTest() running for iteration #" + iteration);
    }

    @Test
    public void secondTest() {
        System.err.println("secondTest() running for iteration #" + iteration);
    }

    @Test
    public void thirdTest() {
        System.err.println("thirdTest() running for iteration #" + iteration);
    }

    @DataProvider(name = "dp")
    public static Object[][] getData() {
        return new Object[][]{
                {1},
                {2},
                {3}
        };
    }
}

And here's the suite xml file

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE suite SYSTEM "http://testng.org/testng-1.0.dtd">
<suite name="48399410_Suite" parallel="false" verbose="2">
    <test name="48399410_test" verbose="2" group-by-instances="true">
        <classes>
            <class name="com.rationaleemotions.stackoverflow.qn48399410.SampleTestClass"/>
        </classes>
    </test>
</suite>

The attribute group-by-instances=true would have an effect only when you are working with factories. It would cause TestNG to run all the methods within a test class instance together (which is apt in this case).

Refer to the official TestNG documentation on factories for more information.

Here's the output

Answer 2

Krishnan Mahadevan , how can i run the iteration for a data provider using an array inside test class.

for Example 
@Test (dataProvider="dp")
    public void firstTest() {
        System.err.println("firstTest() running for iteration #" + iteration);
        array of data provider elements ? 
    }
is it feasible via dataprovider ?
