Hi,

As other references, I am using parameterized annotation [1] to combine
functional test suites by browser [2].
In other cases, I parameterize the tests by other variable, like database
systems.
But using "@Parameterized" is not as declarative and readable for this kind
of tests.
I was wondering on creating own annotations like "@Browsers" or
"@Databases", which would extend the parameterization functionality, and
returning the desired parameters (readed at runtime).

Does this seem a bad desing or a bad pattern for tests?
Is there any way of make this  parameterization more declarative than being
at the "@Parameters" method?

Thanks,
