We all write automated tests using Selenium WebDriver and Java. While developing and testing our automation code, we run it locally on our computers. Others should be able to change or run the code as well. This becomes possible when the code is added to a repository, from which other people can also access it. Once the code is in a repository, it can be executed in a CI/CD environment - such as Jenkins or Azure DevOps - through pipelines. This is the focus of this course. 

In this course, we will add a local automation project built with Java, TestNG, and Selenium to an Azure DevOps project, share the repository with other people and run its tests through pipelines.

Thanks for the exemplary course.
It explains clearly the steps and concepts needed for running Java tests in Azure Devops. 
It was easy to learn and very helpful for my job search.

Very helpful course!

I acquired a lot of knowledge and ideas that I can use in my day-to-day work.
I am very pleased with this course and highly recommend it to fellow testers.

Very pleased with this course!

Enjoyed learning about using a strong framework for test automation,  using Docker to run tests and deploying containers on Azure. Overall, a very useful and interesting course for anyone using test automation!

A very useful and interesting course!

Run Selenium Java Tests In Azure DevOps

Instead of hard-coding the priority value in the Maven goals, we use the `$(Priority)` variable:



- task: Maven@3
  inputs:

    mavenPomFile: 'pom.xml'
    mavenOptions: '-Xmx3072m'
    javaHomeOption: 'JDKVersion'
    jdkVersionOption: '1.8'
    jdkArchitectureOption: 'x64'
    publishJUnitResults: true
    testResultsFiles: '**/surefire-reports/TEST-*.xml'

    goals: 'clean test -Dgroups=$(Priority)'  <--------------------


But if we want to run the tests that belong to the `Medium` group instead of `High`, we have to change the `Priority` pipeline variable value from `High` to `Medium` and re-save the pipeline.

Instead of changing the variable value and saving the pipeline every time, we can allow all users to overwrite the variable's value at runtime.

# Update the variable settings
The only extra step is to check the **Let users override this value when running this pipeline** checkbox for the `Priority` variable in the <b>Update Variable</b> popup:



Instead of hard-coding the priority value in the Maven goals, we use the `＄(Priority)` variable:



Learn how to allow users to change the values of the pipeline variables before running the pipeline.
