How to configure Phpunit.xml to use multiple browsers in Phpunit test with selenium webdriver

Question

I'm working on automation test for a big project and I'm using Phpunit for functional test and as a server selenium webdriver.

I want to execute many tests using different browsers, I don't know what's the appropriate configuration to addend my objective, it's in phpunit.xml or in the test class, because in the SetUp() method I can work only with one browser.

This is my SetUp() method

 public function setUp()
 {
    $capabilities = array(\WebDriverCapabilityType::BROWSER_NAME => 'internet explorer');
    $this->webDriver = RemoteWebDriver::create('http://10.157.3.206:4570/wd/hub',$capabilities);
 }

I tried to follow this Link :

But Error is generated , Class Browser Not found

Can anyone help me to resolve this ??

Solution :

• Must understand we can not run phpunit tests on multiple browser simultaneously

• Running test on one browser at a time is only possible option

• Following snippet is demonstrating default firefox browser for execution

  class myUnitTest extends PHPUnit_Selenium2TestCase {
      try {
         public $browser = getenv("SELENIUM_BROWSER");
      } catch (Exception $e) {
         public $browser = "firefox";
      }
      public function setUp() {
         $this->setBrowser("*".$browser);
      }
   }
