Hi Dharashana, Test Automation Framework provides infrastructure facilities to develop and execute automated tests. You can setup your test environment using test automation framework before you run your automated test cases. Test Automation Framework provide this environment preparing facility ( start up servers.....etc) to users through providing extending points to test automation framework. It allow users to plug custom classes to testng listener interfaces and implement their own tasks in the flow of test execution.
We have provided this server startup facility as a pluggable class[3] a to a testng listeners [1]. Then we have registered that pluggable class in the automation.xml file ( you can find this file in the resources folder inside your test suite) [2] which has all the configuration details for your test execution as follows <listenerExtensions> <platformExecutionManager> <extentionClasses> <class> <name> org.wso2.carbon.integration.common.extensions.carbonserver.CarbonServerExtension </name> <!--<parameter name="-DportOffset" value="0" />--> <!--<parameter name="cmdArg" value="debug 5005" />-->............. ............ What happens in the test execution is , the test automation framework looks for the registered pluggable classes inside the automation.xml and execute those classes within appropriate phase of the test execution. ( ex : Server startup pluggable class is executed before test cases execution phase ). You can write your own pluggable classes using the set of interfaces by test automation framework and registered those classes to do own tasks within the test execution similarly. For configuring before starting up servers, we haven't provide that facility through test automation framework yet. AFAIK this can be achieved using the Deployment Automation Framework which is still under development [ Please refer "Architecture of Deployment Automation Framework" mail thread in the architecture list for more info ] (you can pass limited number of params to server starting-up task as you can see above provided xml snippet).
