Scripts are not running as expected while running them using selenium webdriver Grid

Question

I want to run same script on three browser IE, Chrome and Firefox at a time (i.e., parallel). I am using the following code in Testng.xml file

 <test name="RunTests-1">
    <parameter name="browser" value="firefox" />     
    <parameter name="port" value="http://localhost:4444/wd/hub" />
    <classes>
        <class name="Com.TestSuite.class1"/>
    </classes>
</test>  
<test name="RunTests-2">
    <parameter name="browser" value="chrome" />     
    <parameter name="port" value="http://localhost:4444/wd/hub" />
    <classes>
        <class name="Com.TestSuite.class1"/>
    </classes>
</test>
<test name="RunTests-3">
    <parameter name="browser" value="internet explorer" />     
    <parameter name="port" value="http://localhost:4444/wd/hub" />
    <classes>
        <class name="Com.TestSuite.class1"/>
    </classes>
</test>

while running it using TestNG, it is opening 3 browsers and executing the script. But the problem is while executing the script, it is performing some operations in the script(like entering a text in text field, clicking on a button etc) twice in one browser and not at all performing in other browsers. Please let me know what may be the reason for that.

Please refer to following google docs link for my code: docs.google.com/document/d/… — Vikas

In the code where is driver instance declaration part and check weather you declared as a Static or not. — Manigandan

When you declare the variable as a Static. It will consider as a server side variable. In your case when you launch three browsers. It will use single driver instance for all the three browser sessions. For that reason alone the action is performing repeatedly in a same browser. To resolve the issue remove the Static keyword from the web driver definition.

Eg:

private WebDriver driver = null;
