Parameters

Environment and test case properties

Parameter is any value describing your test environment or current test case. A parameter can store something that doesn't change during all tests (such as the test stand address), or something that changes from test case to test case (such as the test page URL).

Adding parameters in Java looks like this (see https://github.com/allure-framework/allure-core/pull/286):

public class TestClass {
    ...
    @Parameter("My Param")
    private String myParameter;
    ...
}

Any value assigned to such a field will be shown in the report.

Note: Constant fields (static final) with a String or primitive value type (int, float, long, etc.) don't work with @Parameter annotation because of Java implementation particularities.

Parameterized tests

Some test frameworks support parametrized tests, i.e. the same test is executed multiple times with different parameters. Test parameter names and values can be made visible in Allure report.

TestNG

Test method parameters can be marked with @Parameter annotation:

public void parametrizedTest(@Parameter int age, 
                             @Parameter("Name") String parameter2, 
                             @Parameter("Surname") String parameters3) {
    ...
}

Parameter names can be defined in following ways:

• @Parameter without arguments - by default parameter names are generated as arg1, arg2, etc.
• @Parameter without arguments, but test classes compiled with Java 8 javac -parameters key - parameter names will be taken from variable names in source code.
• @Parameter("parameter name") with argument - you can overwrite options above.
