8-18: Confirm the test setup and purpose.The test setup in
DataDrivenWithSuccessPercentageDefinedSampleis correctly implemented to demonstrate the issue described in PR #3170. The@Testannotation is properly configured with a data provider and a success percentage. The@DataProvideris correctly supplying data that, based on the test method's assertion, will lead to a failure in 75% of the cases, which should not result in a passing test given the 99% success percentage.Suggestion: Add a comment explaining the test's purpose.
It would be beneficial to include a comment within the test class or method explaining that this test is designed to demonstrate the specific issue with success percentage calculations when used with a data provider. This will help maintain clarity for future maintainers or reviewers of the code.testng-core/src/test/java/test/invocationcount/issue3170/DataDrivenWithSuccessPercentageAndInvocationCountDefinedSample.java (2)

14-17: Well-defined DataProvider method.The
@DataProvidermethodtestProvideris correctly implemented to provide the necessary data for the test. The data setup is intentionally designed to always fail the test, which is crucial for demonstrating the issue effectively.testng-core/src/main/java/org/testng/internal/invokers/ITestInvoker.java (2)
3-5: Review of Import StatementsThe import statements for
java.util.HashMapandjava.util.Mapare correctly added to support the newcountervariable in theFailureContextclass. This ensures that the necessary classes are available for the new functionality.
24-24: Addition ofcounterVariable inFailureContextThe addition of the
countervariable as afinal Map<String, AtomicInteger>is well-implemented. It is initialized correctly and the use ofAtomicIntegerensures thread safety for concurrent modifications, which is crucial in a testing environment.testng-core/src/test/java/test/invocationcount/issue1719/TestclassSample.java (3)
17-22: Review of DataDrivenTestHavingZeroSuccessPercentageAndNoInvocationCount class.This class correctly implements a test method that always fails, which is suitable for testing the behavior of a success percentage of 0. The use of
Assert.failensures that the test will not pass, aligning with the expected behavior when the success percentage is set to zero.
47-51: Review of RegularTestWithZeroSuccessPercentage class.This class is straightforward and correctly implements a test method that always fails. The use of
Assert.failwithout any conditions ensures that the test will not pass, which is the expected behavior when the success percentage is set to zero.
54-58: Review of RegularTestWithZeroSuccessPercentageAndInvocationCount class.This class extends the testing of the success percentage functionality by adding an invocation count. The method
testMethodWithMultipleInvocationsis designed to always fail, which is suitable for testing the behavior when the success percentage is set to zero with multiple invocations. This setup is useful for ensuring that the test framework correctly handles multiple failures in the context of invocation counts and success percentages.testng-core/src/test/java/test/invocationcount/FailedInvocationCountTest.java (1)
3-17: Review of import statements.The import statements have been updated to include necessary classes for assertions and data handling. This is crucial for the new functionality being tested. The use of
AtomicIntegerfromjava.util.concurrent.atomicensures thread safety during the test execution, which is particularly important given the concurrent nature of TestNG tests.testng-core/src/test/java/test/invocationcount/issue1719/IssueTest.java (4)
13-40: Enhanced Test Method with Parameterization and Detailed AssertionsThe
testSuccessPercentageCalculationmethod has been significantly enhanced to accept parameters for different test classes and expected results, which is a robust approach for handling various test scenarios. The use ofSoftAssertionsallows for multiple assertions to be evaluated without stopping the test at the first failure, which is crucial for comprehensive testing.
- Correctness: The method correctly sets up the test environment, runs the test, and collects results. The use of
SoftAssertionsis appropriate for the context where multiple conditions are checked.- Performance: There are no apparent performance issues with the method itself. The performance will primarily depend on the
TestNGframework's handling of listeners and test execution.- Readability and Maintainability: The method is well-structured and uses descriptive variable names and error messages, which enhances maintainability.
Overall, the changes are well-implemented and align with the objectives of addressing the issue with success percentage calculations when using data providers.
42-44: Utility Method for Formatting Assertion MessagesThe
prettymethod provides a formatted string for assertion messages, which enhances the readability of test failure outputs. This method is simple yet effective in providing clear, context-specific messages for test results.
- Correctness: The method correctly formats the message based on the expected and actual values.
- Performance: As this is a utility method used within assertions, its performance impact is minimal and acceptable.
- Readability and Maintainability: The method is concise and clearly serves its purpose, making it easy to understand and maintain.
This utility method is a good addition to the test suite, aiding in clearer communication of test failures.
46-71: Data Provider for Parameterized TestsThe introduction of the
dpdata provider is a key enhancement that supports the execution of parameterized tests. This method supplies various test scenarios, significantly increasing the test coverage and robustness.
- Correctness: The data provider correctly returns an array of objects, each representing a test scenario with a specific class and expected outcomes.
- Performance: The method efficiently constructs the array of test scenarios. The performance impact is minimal as it primarily serves to organize test data.
- Readability and Maintainability: The method is well-documented with comments explaining the test scenarios, which enhances readability and maintainability.
This data provider is crucial for the flexibility and comprehensiveness of the testing strategy, allowing for multiple scenarios to be tested in a single test run.
73-126: Encapsulation of Expected Test Outcomes in theExpectedClassThe
Expectedclass is a new addition that encapsulates expected test outcomes, providing a structured way to manage and access these values within tests.
- Correctness: The class provides methods to set and get expected values for different test outcomes, which are used to assert conditions in the test method.
- Performance: The class is lightweight and serves primarily as a data container, so its impact on performance is negligible.
- Readability and Maintainability: The class is well-designed with clear methods for setting and retrieving values. The
toStringmethod enhances debugging by providing a clear representation of the object's state.This class significantly aids in the organization and clarity of test code, making it easier to manage expected outcomes and assert conditions based on these values.

Review of DataDrivenTestHavingValidSuccessPercentageAndInvocationCount class.
This class introduces a more complex test scenario involving a success percentage and invocation count. The logic within dataDrivenTestMethodWithInvocationCount is designed to simulate flaky test behavior, which is crucial for testing the success percentage functionality. The use of a Map to track invocations is a good approach to handle state across multiple test invocations.
However, there are a couple of points to consider:
- The
shouldFailflag is used to alternate the test outcome for the parameter value 1. This is a clever way to simulate a flaky test, but it might be clearer to encapsulate this behavior in a separate method or add more comments to explain why this behavior is necessary for the test. - The use of
String.formatfor generating the message is appropriate, but ensure that the message is used effectively in debugging or test reports.
Overall, the implementation meets the objectives of the PR by providing a means to test the success percentage calculation with a data provider.

@coderabbitai Could you suggest a code change to make tests better, according to your previous advice?
There was a problem hiding this comment.
@juherr Sure! Here's a code change suggestion that encapsulates the shouldFail logic into a separate method and adds comments to explain its purpose. Additionally, I've included a logging statement to ensure that the message is captured in the test output for better debugging.
public static class DataDrivenTestHavingValidSuccessPercentageAndInvocationCount {
private boolean shouldFail = true;
private Map<Integer, AtomicInteger> tracker = new HashMap<>();
@Test(
successPercentage = 30,
dataProvider = "dp",
invocationCount = 2,
dataProviderClass = TestclassSample.class)
public void dataDrivenTestMethodWithInvocationCount(int i) {
int current = tracker.computeIfAbsent(i, k -> new AtomicInteger()).incrementAndGet();
String msg = String.format("Parameter [%d], Invocation [%d]", i, current);
// Log the message for better debugging
System.out.println(msg);
if (i != 1) { // If the parameter is NOT 1, then just fail
Assert.fail("Failing test " + msg);
}
// Encapsulate the flaky behavior in a separate method
simulateFlakyBehavior(msg);
}
/**
* Simulates flaky test behavior by alternating the test outcome.
* This method is specifically designed to fail the first time it is called
* for the parameter value 1, and pass on subsequent invocations.
*/
private void simulateFlakyBehavior(String msg) {
if (shouldFail) {
shouldFail = false;
Assert.fail("Failing test " + msg);
}
}
}This change makes the test logic more modular and easier to understand, while also improving the debugging experience by logging the test details before any assertions are made. Let me know if you have any further suggestions or questions! 😊

Review of the new test method ensureSuccessPercentageWorksFineWith.
The implementation of this method is correct and effectively addresses the issue outlined in the PR. It uses a data provider to supply test cases and correctly sets up listeners to track the outcomes of test invocations. The use of AtomicInteger ensures thread safety, which is crucial in a concurrent testing environment.
However, it would be beneficial to add more detailed comments within the method to explain the logic, especially how the success percentage is calculated and validated against the expected results.
Would you like me to help draft these explanatory comments?

@coderabbitai Yes, please help with the comments.

@juherr Sure! Below are the detailed comments that can be added to the ensureSuccessPercentageWorksFineWith method to explain the logic:
@Test(dataProvider = "dp")
public void ensureSuccessPercentageWorksFineWith(Class<?> clazz, IssueTest.Expected expected) {
// Create a TestNG instance for the provided test class.
TestNG testng = create(clazz);
// AtomicInteger variables to track the number of passed, failed, and failed-within-success-percentage tests.
AtomicInteger failed = new AtomicInteger(0);
AtomicInteger passed = new AtomicInteger(0);
AtomicInteger failedWithInSuccessPercentage = new AtomicInteger(0);
// Add a listener to track the outcome of each test invocation.
testng.addListener(
new IInvokedMethodListener() {
@Override
public void afterInvocation(IInvokedMethod method, ITestResult testResult) {
// Increment the appropriate counter based on the test result status.
switch (testResult.getStatus()) {
case ITestResult.SUCCESS:
passed.incrementAndGet();
break;
case ITestResult.FAILURE:
failed.incrementAndGet();
break;
case ITestResult.SUCCESS_PERCENTAGE_FAILURE:
failedWithInSuccessPercentage.incrementAndGet();
break;
default:
// No action needed for other statuses.
}
}
});
// Run the TestNG tests.
testng.run();
// Validate that the number of passed tests matches the expected value.
assertThat(passed.get()).isEqualTo(expected.success());
// Validate that the number of failed tests matches the expected value.
assertThat(failed.get()).isEqualTo(expected.failures());
// Validate that the number of tests that failed within the success percentage matches the expected value.
assertThat(failedWithInSuccessPercentage.get())
.isEqualTo(expected.failedWithinSuccessPercentage());
}These comments should help clarify the purpose and logic of each part of the method. Let me know if you need any further adjustments!

Review of the data provider method dp.
The implementation of this method is correct and effectively supplies the necessary test data for the new test functionality. The structure of the data matches the expected input for the test method, ensuring that the tests are comprehensive and cover different scenarios.
It would be beneficial to add comments explaining the choice of test cases, particularly how they relate to the issue being addressed.
Would you like me to help draft these explanatory comments?

@juherr Here are the explanatory comments for the dp method:
@DataProvider(name = "dp")
public Object[][] dp() {
return new Object[][] {
{
// This test case uses a class where both success percentage and invocation count are defined.
// The test is expected to fail all invocations because the provided data does not meet the success criteria.
// This scenario helps validate that the fix correctly handles cases where all invocations fail.
DataDrivenWithSuccessPercentageAndInvocationCountDefinedSample.class,
new IssueTest.Expected().failures(10)
},
{
// This test case uses a class where only the success percentage is defined.
// The test is expected to pass only one of the invocations and fail the others.
// This scenario helps ensure that the fix correctly calculates the success percentage and handles partial successes.
DataDrivenWithSuccessPercentageDefinedSample.class,
new IssueTest.Expected().failures(3).success(1)
}
};
}These comments should clarify the purpose of each test case and how they contribute to validating the fix for the issue.

Refactor to improve clarity and efficiency in failure count handling.
The changes introduced in lines 560-561 enhance the granularity of failure tracking by using a map to store failure counts based on test parameters. This is a crucial improvement for data-driven tests where different parameter sets might have different failure rates, which need to be tracked separately to calculate the success percentage accurately.
However, there are a couple of points that could be improved:
- Clarity: The use of
Arrays.toString(testResult.getParameters())as a key is straightforward but might not be the most efficient or reliable method for generating unique keys, especially if parameters include complex objects. Consider implementing a more robust hashing mechanism. - Efficiency: The
computeIfAbsentmethod is used effectively here to ensure thread safety and atomicity of operations. However, ensure that thefailure.countermap is appropriately synchronized or concurrent to handle potential multi-threaded access scenarios typical in testing frameworks.
Consider the following improvements:
- Implement a custom hash function or use a library to generate more reliable keys from test parameters.
- Ensure that the
failure.countermap is an instance ofConcurrentHashMapto handle concurrent modifications safely.
- String key = Arrays.toString(testResult.getParameters());
- count = failure.counter.computeIfAbsent(key, k -> new AtomicInteger()).incrementAndGet();
+ String key = generateHashKey(testResult.getParameters());
+ count = failure.counter.computeIfAbsent(key, k -> new AtomicInteger()).incrementAndGet();
+ // Example method to generate a hash key
+ private String generateHashKey(Object[] parameters) {
+ return Arrays.stream(parameters)
+ .map(Object::hashCode)
+ .map(Objects::toString)
+ .collect(Collectors.joining("-"));
+ }Committable suggestion was skipped due to low confidence.

@coderabbitai Not sure about the value-add of the change but generateHashKey should be static.
There was a problem hiding this comment.
@juherr, I understand your point about the value-add of the change. The current implementation using Arrays.toString(testResult.getParameters()) is indeed straightforward and sufficient unless specific issues arise with key generation.
If we were to implement the generateHashKey method, making it static would be the right approach, as it doesn't rely on any instance variables.
Let me know if you have any further thoughts!
