REST API Automation Testing from Scratch - REST Assured Java - Understanding TestNG Data Provider for Parameterization

The video tutorial introduces the TestNG data provider annotation, explaining its role in parameterizing test cases. It covers the creation of multidimensional arrays in Java, which are used to store data sets for tests. The tutorial demonstrates how to link a data provider to test cases, allowing tests to run multiple times with different data sets. It also explains how to implement arrays for parameterization and how to return and connect data providers to tests.

What is the primary purpose of the Data Provider annotation in TestNG?

• To create a test without a main method

• To provide data for parameterized tests

• To handle exceptions in tests

• To generate test reports

Which keyword is used to define a method as a Data Provider in TestNG?

• @DataProvider

• @BeforeMethod

• @AfterTest

• @Test

What is a multidimensional array?

• A collection of arrays

• An array with a single element

• A collection of strings

• An array with no elements

What is the role of the 'new' operator in creating a multidimensional array?

• To copy an array

• To initialize an array

• To sort an array

• To delete an array

What is the correct syntax to declare a multidimensional array in Java?

• int[][] array = new int[3][3];

• int array = new int[3];

• int[] array = new int[3];

• int[][] array = new int[3];

How many times will a test run if linked to a Data Provider with 3 arrays?

• Four times

• Three times

• Twice

• Once

What happens when a test is linked to a Data Provider with multiple arrays?

• The test fails

• The test runs multiple times, each time with a different array

• The test runs without any data

• The test runs once with all data

What must be changed in a method when returning a multidimensional array?

• The method visibility

• The method name

• The method parameters

• The return type

What is the significance of the 'Books Data' name in the Data Provider setup?

• It is the name of the test suite

• It is the name used to link the Data Provider to the test

• It is the name of the test class

• It is the name of the test method

What is the purpose of the 'return' statement in a Data Provider method?

• To return the test status

• To end the method execution

• To return the test results

• To return the data to be used in the test
