Running Tests with TestNG XML Suite

Running Tests with TestNG XML Suite

Running tests with a TestNG XML suite allows you to configure and control your test execution in a structured way. Here’s a step-by-step guide to help you run tests using a TestNG XML suite:


✅ 1. Create Your TestNG XML Suite File

This file typically has the .xml extension and describes the structure of your tests — such as which classes or methods to run.


Example: testng.xml

xml

Copy

Edit

<!DOCTYPE suite SYSTEM "https://testng.org/testng-1.0.dtd" >

<suite name="MySuite" parallel="false">

  <test name="MyTest">

    <classes>

      <class name="com.example.tests.LoginTest"/>

      <class name="com.example.tests.HomePageTest"/>

    </classes>

  </test>

</suite>

✅ 2. Ensure Your Project Has TestNG Set Up

Make sure that:


TestNG is added to your project dependencies (via Maven, Gradle, or manually).


Your test classes/methods are annotated with @Test.


✅ 3. Run the TestNG XML Suite

There are multiple ways to run the suite:


🔹 Option 1: Using an IDE (e.g., IntelliJ or Eclipse)

Right-click the testng.xml file.


Click on Run 'testng.xml'.


🔹 Option 2: Using Command Line

If you are using the TestNG JAR directly:


bash

Copy

Edit

java -cp "path/to/testng.jar;path/to/your/classes" org.testng.TestNG testng.xml

🔹 Option 3: Using Maven

If you're using Maven with the maven-surefire-plugin, add this to your pom.xml:


xml

Copy

Edit

<build>

  <plugins>

    <plugin>

      <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>

      <artifactId>maven-surefire-plugin</artifactId>

      <version>3.1.2</version>

      <configuration>

        <suiteXmlFiles>

          <suiteXmlFile>testng.xml</suiteXmlFile>

        </suiteXmlFiles>

      </configuration>

    </plugin>

  </plugins>

</build>

Then run:


bash

Copy

Edit

mvn test

✅ 4. View the Test Results

TestNG generates reports in:


test-output/index.html


test-output/emailable-report.html


You can open them in a browser to review your results.
