Multiple Selenium parametrized webtests using Java

Question

Seems I'm not enough smart to figure it out by myself - I have Eclipse Kepler installed, with jUnit 4.11, selenium-java 2.41 and a mozilla plugin for selenium.

Everything is great, everything (at this moment) works great. My aim is to create a test, that repeats n times, everytime using the second String[] array element. For example:

`@Test
public void testGoogleSearch() throws Exception {
 driver.get(baseUrl);
 driver.findElement(By.id("gbqfq")).clear();
 driver.findElement(By.id("gbqfq")).sendKeys("Find me"); // Input text from String array here
 driver.findElement(By.id("gbqfb")).click();

 try {
     assertEquals("Find me", driver.findElement(By.id("gbqfq")).getAttribute("value"));
 } catch (Error e) {
     verificationErrors.append(e.toString());
 }
}`

As you can see, there is static "Find me" text. I want, that my test will run 5 times, each time input changes to early defined array elements.

How can i do that? Any clues? I've read about parametrized testing, but does it really is that i need? I didn't found anything there about multiple repeating.

Any help would be great. Thank you.

Yes, it is exactly what you need. Parameterized.class:

@RunWith(Parameterized.class)
public class GoogleSearchClass {

    private String searchString;
    private String expectedString;
    public GoogleSearchClass (String srch, String expect){
        searchString = srch;
        expectedString = expect;
    }


    @Parameterized.Parameters
    public static Collection<Object[]> data() {
        return Arrays.asList(new Object[][]{
                {"search1", "expected1"}, {"search2", "expected2"}, {"search3", "expected3"}
        });
    }

    @Test
    public void testGoogleSearch() throws Exception {
        driver.get("http://google.com");
        driver.findElement(By.id("gbqfq")).clear();
        driver.findElement(By.id("gbqfq")).sendKeys(searchString); // Input text from String array here
        driver.findElement(By.id("gbqfb")).click();

        try {
         //   Assert.assertEquals(expectedString, driver.findElement(By.id("gbqfq")).getAttribute("value"));
        } catch (AssertionError e) {
        }
    }
}
