TestNG XML example to execute Multiple Classes

In testng.xml file we can specify multiple name (s) which needs to be executed.

In a project there may be many classes, but we want to execute only the selected classes.

We can pass class names of multiple packages also. If say suppose, we want to execute two classes in one package and other class from some other package.

The below is the example testng.xml which will execute the class names that are specified.

Example:

DataProvider in TestNG

Marks a method as supplying data for a test method. The annotated method must return an Object[][] where each Object[] can be assigned the parameter list of the test method.

The @Test method that wants to receive data from this DataProvider needs to use a dataProvider name equals to the name of this annotation.

The name of this data provider. If it's not supplied, the name of this data provider will automatically be set to the name of the method.

TestNG Introduction

TestNG is a unit test framework designed for testing needs (developers / Test Engineers). It is inspired from JUnit by adding new functionalities which made TestNG more powerful than other unit test frameworks.

We can use TestNG for the below reasons:
1. To Run test cases in the order which we provide
2. We can run classes without using Main method.
3. To generate reports
4. We can Parameterize Tests
5. Group tests and execute only specific group
6. Implement logging using TestNG Listeners
