Sharing data between @Test methods

For a given class, sharing data between @Test methods can be done via means of Class level variables

class MyTestNGClass
{
String CustName=”Jackychan”;

// This can be used across @Test methods normally
}

Suppose our Tests spans across classes, ITestContext interface can come handy as per example below:

Step 1: your test classes:
——————————-

package com.TestNG.Package;

import org.testng.ITestContext;
import org.testng.annotations.BeforeSuite;
import org.testng.annotations.Test;

public class MyClass1 {

@BeforeSuite
public void Setup(ITestContext context) {
String CustID = “Jackychan”;
context.setAttribute(“CustID”, CustID);
}

@Test
public void MyFunction(ITestContext context) {
System.out.println(context.getAttribute(“CustID”));
}
}

package com.TestNG.Package;

import org.testng.ITestContext;
import org.testng.annotations.Test;

public class MyTestNGClass2 {

@Test
public void MyFunction(ITestContext context) {
System.out.println(context.getAttribute(“CustID”)+”Hello”);
}

}

Step 2: Create your test suite using testng.xml :
