If you want to be able to get a single Execution ID and use if afterwards for analyses of your results, this article is for you. Below in this article you can find more useful information in related articles.

When you use TestNG, your XML file has similar structure:

…
</suite>
…
       <test name="ExecutionID using TestNG" enabled="true">
              <parameter name="driver.capabilities.platformName" value="ios"></parameter>
              <groups>
                     <run>
						<include name="@WebSearch"/>
                     </run>
              </groups>
              <classes>
					<class name="com.qmetry.qaf.automation.step.client.gherkin.GherkinScenarioFactory"/>
              </classes>
       </test>      
</suite>
 …

This will generate one test run result with a single Execution ID

If you want to have more than one runs covered by the same Execution ID, you need to remain in the frames of the same test. For the example in this article I have included another include like this:

…
</suite>
…
       <test name="ExecutionID using TestNG" enabled="true">
              <parameter name="driver.capabilities.platformName" value="ios"></parameter>
              <groups>
                     <run>
							<include name="@WebSearch"/>
							<include name="@WebResultsList"/>
                     </run>
              </groups>
              <classes>
					<class name="com.qmetry.qaf.automation.step.client.gherkin.GherkinScenarioFactory"/>
              </classes>
       </test>      
</suite>
 …

This will provide you with two runs with the same Execution ID:

and

As you can see the both runs started at different time have the same Execution ID

Happy testing!
