Best Practices for TestNG and Selenium Testing in AIQ

Best Practices for TestNG and Selenium Testing in AIQ

Last reviewed: September 21, 2026

Use this page to maintain Selenium/TestNG projects that are executed through AIQ. Keep the framework deterministic, portable, and easy to diagnose.

When to use this guidance

• A Selenium/TestNG project is packaged for AIQ execution.
• Tests need data, environment, or browser parameters.
• Failures must be readable in AIQ reports and pipeline output.

Recommended approach

1. Keep tests independent and avoid hidden ordering dependencies.
2. Externalize environment URLs, credentials, and test data.
3. Use explicit waits and stable locators rather than fixed sleeps.
4. Package dependencies consistently and validate the artifact before uploading or executing in AIQ.
5. Log meaningful assertions and screenshots so failures can be triaged quickly.

Note: For new scriptless functional coverage, prefer Scenario Editor where it fits the use case.
