Custom Method

Custom Method

• We can write our own custom method

• Methods are added to Services -> method -> External.java

• public static void testMethod(String param1, int param2, Object param3) {
  		
  		// values in Config are available by other tests in csv file through using <@key1> annotation
  		// we can place string, int, boolean and objects in Config
  		Config.putValue("key1",param1);	
  		Config.putValue("key2",param2);	
  		Config.putValue("key3",true);
  		Config.putValue("key4", param3);
  
  		// getting the values from Config through code
  		String key = Config.getValue("key1");
  		Helper.assertEquals(param1, key);
  		
  		int intkey = Config.getIntValue("key2");
  		Helper.assertEquals(param2, intkey);
  		
  		boolean boolkey = Config.getBooleanValue("key3");
  		Helper.assertEquals(true, boolkey);
  		
  		Object objectkey = Config.getObjectValue("key4");
  		Helper.assertTrue("objects did not match", objectkey.equals(param3));
  	}

• Supports primitive and object data types

• Values can be stored in properties using Config.putValue(key, value) syntax

  • The stored values can then be accessed by other tests in the same csv file using the <@key> syntax

  • eg. Config.putValue("key1","name1") can be accessed in csv file by the subsequent tests using <@key1>

  • The scope of the stored value is the entire csv file

• To set custom method in csv file:

  • We set:

    • Interface: EXTERNAL

    • Method: METHOD:classname:methodname eg. METHOD:External.testMethod

      • External is the class name

      • testmethod is the method name

    • Request Body: param1:value1; param2:3; param3:<@key1>

  • This is equivalent of:

    • testMethod("value1", 3, "name1")

In CSV:
