How can I filter testcases using custom meta-data in QAF?

Question

I am using QAF for my automation project. I have project specific meta-data which has group SMOKE, regression, P1 and author with x,y,z name.

SCENARIO: SampleTest
META-DATA: {"description":"Sample Test Scenario","groups":["SMOKE"],"author":["x"]}

    #TODO: call test steps
END

I want to run only "smoke" group and author with "x" or "y". Is there any solution for these?

Answer 1

For example,

 public class TestSelenium {

    @Test(groups= "SMOKE")
    public void runSelenium() {
        System.out.println("runSelenium()");
    }

    @Test(groups= "Regression")
    public void runSelenium1() {
        System.out.println("runSelenium()1");
    }
}

Now if you want to execute only "SMOKE" group, do like this way.

<suite name="TestAll">
<!-- Run test method on group "selenium" only -->
<test name="selenium">

    <groups>
        <run>
            <include name="SMOKE" />
        </run>
    </groups>

     <classes>
        <class name="com.TestSelenium" />
     </classes>

   </test>

</suite>
