I do not think I fully understand the different 'Provider' concept, but if you are looking to run different types of tests in 1 suite, then you could create a separate PROFILE in Maven, then your suite could have something like:
<!DOCTYPE suite SYSTEM "http://testng.org/testng-1.0.dtd";> <suite name="Functional_TestNG" verbose="1"> *<parameter name="providerType" value="${provider.type}" />* <parameter name="application-address" value=" http://localhost:8889/webapp/"; / <test name="Service Tests - Generic"> <packages> <package name="com.baselogic.service" /> </packages> </test> ... Or you could hard code them per test section: <test name="Service Tests - ProviderTypeA"> * <parameter name="providerType" value="A" />* <packages> <package name="com.baselogic.service" /> </packages> </test> <test name="Service Tests - ProviderTypeB"> * <parameter name="providerType" value="B" />* <packages> <package name="com.baselogic.service" /> </packages> </test> Is this what you mean? --- Thank You… Mick Knutson, President BASE Logic, Inc.
