Properties file in selenium testng

Why Properties File?

While automating a web application many user operations have to be performed and much input data is required to perform the testing.

Sometimes the hardcoding of more input data can cause the code to not be reusable and consume more time to change the input in all the fields in the program, so the properties file is recommended to store the input data and give only the reference of the variable to the program.

So changing the input data for testing in the properties file is only enough.

What is Properties File?

A property file is a file that is provided by Java, it is used to maintain the input data in the programming.

The data present in the properties file is stored as Key-Value pairs, so we can access any data in this file by using the key.
