Road to parallel execution of selenium webdriver test scripts using multithreading

In this post you will learn to how to execute selenium webdriver test script on two browser parallel using multithreading.

package com.test;

import java.io.File;

import java.util.concurrent.TimeUnit;

import org.openqa.selenium.By;

import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;

import org.openqa.selenium.firefox.FirefoxDriver;

import org.openqa.selenium.ie.InternetExplorerDriver;

import org.testng.annotations.AfterClass;

import org.testng.annotations.Test;

public class GoogleSearchMultiThread extends Thread {

   private WebDriver driver;

   private String baseUrl;

   private String browsertype;

   public GoogleSearchMultiThread(String name, String browsertype) {

               super(name);

               this.browsertype = browsertype;

   }

   @Override

   public void run() {

        System.out.println("Thread- Started"

                                      + Thread.currentThread().getName());

        try {

                Thread.sleep(1000);

                setUp(this.browsertype);

                testGoogleSearch();

          } catch (InterruptedException e) {

                 e.printStackTrace();

         } catch (Exception e) {

               // TODO Auto-generated catch block

                e.printStackTrace();

        } finally {

                tearDown();

        }

       System.out.println("Thread- END " + Thread.currentThread().getName());

   }

   // main method to create thread and run multiple thread

   public static void main(String[] args) {

               Thread t1 = new GoogleSearchMultiThread("Thread Firefox", "Firefox");

               Thread t2 = new GoogleSearchMultiThread("Thread IE", "IE");

               System.out.println("Starting MyThreads");

               t1.start();

               t2.start();

               System.out.println("Thread has been started");

   }

   // set up method to initialize driver object

   public void setUp(String browsertype) throws Exception {

               if (browsertype.contains("IE")) {

                           File IEDriver = new File("IEDriverServer.exe");

                           System.setProperty("webdriver.ie.driver",

                                                   IEDriver.getAbsolutePath());

                           driver = new InternetExplorerDriver();

               } else if (browsertype.contains("Firefox")) {

                           driver = new FirefoxDriver();

               }

               baseUrl = "https://www.google.co.in/";

               driver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(30, TimeUnit.SECONDS);

               driver.manage().window().maximize();

   }

   // test scripts

   public void testGoogleSearch() throws Exception {

               driver.get(baseUrl + "/");

               driver.findElement(By.id("gbqfq")).clear();

               driver.findElement(By.id("gbqfq")).sendKeys("Testing");

               driver.findElement(By.id("gbqfb")).click();

               driver.findElement(By.id("ab_opt_icon")).click();

               driver.findElement(By.cssSelector("#ab_as > div")).click();

               driver.findElement(By.xpath("//input[@value='Advanced Search']"))

                                       .click();

   }

   // tear down function to close browser

   public void tearDown() {

               driver.quit();

   }

}

In above class I use multithreading concept of java, when you run test it will execute two thread of test on at firefox browser and other on Internet explorer browser.
