Step 10:

After clicking OK the Object Repository dialog will be opened and the user had to make a new folder and save the Object Repository.

Once the above step is completed the created object repository folder will be displayed under Object Repository. (Note: My Object Repository is named as GUI)

Step 12:

While clicking the Object Repository folder the captured element will be displayed.

Step 13:

To run the test case in multiple browsers right-click the test suite option.

Step 14:

Select the new option and create a new Test Suite and give an appropriate test suite name and description.

Step 15:

Now the user had to integrate the test case with the test suite. Click the add button once the test suite is created successfully will open the test suite page and click the add option.

 

Step 16:

Once the add button is pressed a dialog box will be opened to add the test case to the test suite. Now select the check box and click OK. The test case will be integrated into the test Suite.

Note:    If there are multiple test case select the test cases according to the order.
My test case is named as GUI_Automation.

Step 19:

Now select the added test suite to the test suite collection to run the test case in multiple browsers.

Note:     Add the same test suite for more than two times to run the test suite in different browsers.
I have name my test suite as GUI_Multiplebrowser.

Step 20:

Once the test suite is selected use the “Run with” option to select the browser to run the test suite in different browsers.

Step 21:

Once the test suite is selected with the appropriate browser the test suite collection is ready to execute.

Step 22:

The test suite collection can be executed in two different ways

1. Sequential: the test suites will be executed one after another.
2. Parallel: the test suites will be executed at the same time.

Step 23: I will run my test suite collection in Parallel mode and will execute the test suite collection.

Step 24: The test suite execution will run the test cases in three different browsers and log can be viewed in the log.
