TestNG cross browser test fails after launcing first browser

Question

I am trying to run some basic test on different browsers but the test are failing once after the launching the first browser (in this case Firefox) and fails to execute the Chrome and IE browsers.

Java code using TestNG annotations -

package com.Selenium_Practice;

import java.util.concurrent.TimeUnit;
import junit.framework.Assert;
import org.openqa.selenium.By;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.chrome.ChromeDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.firefox.FirefoxDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.ie.InternetExplorerDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.opera.OperaDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.safari.SafariDriver;
import org.testng.annotations.Parameters;
import org.testng.annotations.Test;
import com.relevantcodes.extentreports.ExtentReports;
import com.relevantcodes.extentreports.LogStatus;

public class CrossBrowserTestingUsingTestNG {

WebDriver driver;
ExtentReports report = ExtentReports.get(CrossBrowserTestingUsingTestNG.class);

@SuppressWarnings("deprecation")
@Test
@Parameters("browser")
public void CrossBrowserCodeBrowser(String browserName){

    report.init("E:\\Report\\CrossBrowserTestingUsingTestNG.html", true);
    report.startTest("Starting the test for CrossBrowserTestingUsingTestNG class");


    if(browserName.equalsIgnoreCase("firefox")){
      driver = new FirefoxDriver();
      report.log(LogStatus.INFO, "Firefox browser is up and running");
    }//if

    else if(browserName.equalsIgnoreCase("chrome")){
      System.setProperty("webDriver.chrome.driver", "E:\\Driver\\chromedriver.exe");
      driver = new ChromeDriver();  
      report.log(LogStatus.INFO, "Chrome browser is up and runnning");
    }//else if

    else if(browserName.equalsIgnoreCase("ie")){
      System.setProperty("webDriver.chrome.driver", "E:\\Driver\\IEDriverServer.exe");
      driver = new InternetExplorerDriver();
      report.log(LogStatus.INFO, "IE is up and running");
    }//else if

    driver.manage().window().maximize();
    driver.get("http://stackoverflow.com/questions/31747315/getting-nullpointerexception-when-trying-to-generate-test-reports-using-extentre/31752389#31752389");
    driver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(10, TimeUnit.SECONDS);
    driver.findElement(By.xpath(".//*[@id='question-header']/h1/a")).getAttribute("href");
    driver.findElement(By.xpath(".//*[@id='question-header']/h1/a")).getTagName();
    System.out.println("Link : "+driver.findElement(By.xpath(".//*[@id='question-header']/h1/a")).getAttribute("href"));
    System.out.println("Question : "+driver.findElement(By.xpath(".//*[@id='question-header']/h1/a")).getTagName());
    Assert.assertEquals("a", driver.findElement(By.xpath(".//*[@id='question-header']/h1/a")).getTagName());
    report.log(LogStatus.PASS, "Both are equal");
    report.endTest();
    driver.quit();
 }//CrossBrowserCodeBrowser

}//CrossBrowserTestingUsingTestNG

Test Suit -

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE suite SYSTEM "http://testng.org/testng-1.0.dtd">
<suite name="CrossBrowserTesting" parallel="none">

 <test name="FirefoxTestSuit">

After running the XML file using TestNG i am getting the following results -

Updated XML file - In the below XML file i put the parameters outside the classes.

 <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
 <!DOCTYPE suite SYSTEM "http://testng.org/testng-1.0.dtd">
 <suite name="CrossBrowserTesting" parallel="none">

 <test name="FirefoxTestSuit">

    <class name="com.Selenium_Practice.CrossBrowserTestingUsingTestNG"/>  
   </classes>  
  </test> <!-- CrossBrowser -->

  <test name="ChromeTestSuit">  
   <parameter name="browser" value="chrome"/> 
    <classes>
     <class name="com.Selenium_Practice.CrossBrowserTestingUsingTestNG"/>  
    </classes>  
   </test> <!-- CrossBrowser -->

 <parameter name="browser" value="ie"/>
  <classes>
    <class name="com.Selenium_Practice.CrossBrowserTestingUsingTestNG"/>
  </classes>
 </test> <!-- CrossBrowser -->  
 </suite> <!-- Suite -->

Output - After running the changed xmfile i am getting same result.

parameter tag should be outside classes.

<test name="FirefoxTestSuit">  
<parameter name="browser" value="firefox"/>   
  <classes>
     <class name="com.Selenium_Practice.CrossBrowserTestingUsingTestNG"/>  
 </classes>  
</test> <!-- CrossBrowser -->
