I am making Automation Framework using Selenium , JAVA, Maven, TestNG & Eclipse. So my question is regarding which TYPE OF FILE I should use for:

  1. Keeping test Data ? (Right now I am using XML file as it is light & free unlike Excel)
  2. Creating test case. ? (Currently I am using simple .Java text file for each test case)
  3. For creating Reports ? (Thinking to make XML report & then display it using HTML file)

Will be nice if you share Pros & Cons along with your views/recommendation/suggestion.

I think this will help me finalize my file structure. We can add functionality & facilities anytime. Thanks a lot.

  1. Keeping test Data, you might want to try using .Java files to store data, then use getter and setter. If you are using TestNG you can use the annotation @DataProvider() which will really help you on keeping test data.

Constants can also be put in . Java files as an interface

  1. Creating test case --> It is a good thing to use .Java file

  2. Creating reports --> Yep, you got the idea. Try to use TestNG, it's easy to set up.
