How to get Test case Description / Name of test case using testNG when testcases are executing in for loop

Question

I am executing test cases based on few constants such as if ADD come then only perform Add functionality and so on... and test cases are executing. I would like to retrieve test case name/ description. Below is my pseudo code for the test case

@Test
public void executeTestStep(String name) {
    if (A.get() == ADD) {
        performAdd(name);
    } else  (A.get() == EDIT) {
        perform(name);
    }          }

name is a variable which I am getting from a property file. so I would like to have test case names are 1. "Add" + name 2. "Edit" +name 3."delete" +name Can some one please advise me on this?

Answer 1

You can pass by string value,

String testCase="";

@Test
public void executeTestStep(String name) {
    if (A.get() == ADD) {
        performAdd(name);
        testCase = "Add Operation";
    } else  (A.get() == EDIT) {
        perform(name);
         testCase = "Edit Operation";
    }  
System.out.println("Test Case: " +testCase);        
}

I didn't find For loop in your code, But if it is there we can use it similarly.
