Data providers for selenium

  There are different methods to provide data to selenium tests.

One of these is using the properties file. User can store the data in properties file and use its content for the selenium test

Here is a properties file with some content. Name it as datasuite.properties
     
      Directory = C:/prodFiles/

      NumberOfFiles = 25

      Extension = javaworld

and the corresponding java code to manipulate it

        InputStream is = this.getClass().getResourceAsStream("/conf/datasuite.properties");  

        Properties prop = new Properties();  

        prop.load(is); 

        String directory = prop.getProperty("Directory");  

        String numberOfFiles = prop.getProperty("NumberOfFiles");  

        String  fileExtension = prop.getProperty("Extension");  

        is.close(); 

        

        System.out.println(directory+" "+numberOfFiles+" "+fileExtension);

Below is the folder structure
