<p>TestNG is a testing framework inspired from JUnit and NUnit but introducing
some new functionalities that make it more powerful and easier to use, such as:</p>
<ul>
<li>Annotations.
</li>
<li>Run your tests in arbitrarily big thread pools with various policies available
(all methods in their own thread, one thread per test class, etc...).
</li>
<li>Test that your code is multithread safe.
</li>
<li>Flexible test configuration.
</li>
<li>Support for data-driven testing (with <tt>@DataProvider</tt>).
</li>
<li>Support for parameters.
</li>
<li>Powerful execution model (no more <tt>TestSuite</tt>).
</li>
<li>Supported by a variety of tools and plug-ins (Eclipse, IDEA, Maven,
etc...).
</li>
<li>Embeds BeanShell for further flexibility.
</li>
<li>Default JDK functions for runtime and logging (no dependencies).
</li>
<li>Dependent methods for application server testing.</li>
</ul>
<p>TestNG is designed to cover all categories of tests:&nbsp; unit, functional,
end-to-end, integration, etc...</p>
<p>I started TestNG out of frustration for some JUnit deficiencies which I have
documented on my weblog <a href="http://beust.com/weblog/2004/08/25/testsetup-and-evil-static-methods/">here</a> and <a href="http://beust.com/weblog/2004/02/08/junit-pain/">here</a>
Reading these entries might give you a better idea of the goal I am trying to
achieve with TestNG.&nbsp; You can also check out a quick
<a href="http://www.beust.com/weblog/archives/000176.html">overview of the main
features</a> and an <a href="http://beust.com/weblog/2004/08/18/using-annotation-inheritance-for-testing/">
article</a> describing a very concrete example where the combined use of several
TestNG's features provides for a very intuitive and maintainable testing design.</p>
<p>Here is a very simple test:</p>
<h3 class="sourcetitle">SimpleTest.java</h3>
<pre class="brush: java" >
package example1;
import org.testng.annotations.*;
public class SimpleTest {
@BeforeClass
public void setUp() {
// code that will be invoked when this test is instantiated
}
@Test(groups = { "fast" })
public void aFastTest() {
System.out.println("Fast test");
}
@Test(groups = { "slow" })
public void aSlowTest() {
System.out.println("Slow test");
}
}
</pre>
The method <tt>setUp()</tt> will be invoked after the test class has been built and before
any test method is run.&nbsp; In this example, we will be running the group
fast, so <tt>aFastTest()</tt> will be invoked while <tt>aSlowTest()</tt> will be
skipped.<p>
<!-------------------------------------
WRITING A TEST
------------------------------------>
Things to note:</p><ul>
<li>No need to extend a class or implement an interface.</li><li>Even though the example above uses the JUnit conventions, our methods
can be called any name you like, it's the annotations that tell TestNG what
they are.</li><li>A test method can belong to one or several groups.</li></ul>
<p>
Once you have compiled your test class into the <tt>build</tt> directory, you
can invoke your test with the command line, an ant task (shown below) or an XML
file:
<h3 class="sourcetitle">build.xml</h3>
<pre class="brush:java">
&lt;project default="test"&gt;
&lt;path id="cp"&gt;
&lt;pathelement location="lib/testng-testng-5.13.1.jar"/&gt;
&lt;pathelement location="build"/&gt;
&lt;/path&gt;
&lt;taskdef name="testng" classpathref="cp"
classname="org.testng.TestNGAntTask" /&gt;
&lt;target name="test"&gt;
&lt;testng classpathref="cp" groups="fast"&gt;
&lt;classfileset dir="build" includes="example1/*.class"/&gt;
&lt;/testng&gt;
&lt;/target&gt;
&lt;/project&gt;
</pre>
Use ant to invoke it:
<pre class="brush: text">
c:&gt; ant
Buildfile: build.xml
test:
[testng] Fast test
[testng] ===============================================
[testng] Suite for Command line test
[testng] Total tests run: 1, Failures: 0, Skips: 0
[testng] ===============================================
BUILD SUCCESSFUL
Total time: 4 seconds
</pre>
Then you can browse the result of your tests:
<pre class="brush: text">
start test-output\index.html (on Windows)
</pre>
<h3><a name="requirements">Requirements</a></h3>
<p>TestNG requires JDK 7 or higher.</p>
<h3><a name="mailing-lists">Mailing-lists</a></h3>
<ul>
<li>The users mailing-list can be found on <a href="http://groups.google.com/group/testng-users">Google Groups</a>.
<li>If you are interested in working on TestNG itself, join the <a href="http://groups.google.com/group/testng-users">developer mailing-list</a>.
<li>If you are only interested in hearing about new versions of TestNG, you can join the low volume <a href="http://groups.google.com/group/testng-announcements">TestNG announcement mailing-list</a>.
</ul>
<h3><a name="locations-projects">Locations of the projects</a></h3>
<p>If you are interested in contributing to TestNG or one of the IDE plug-ins,
you will find them in the following locations:</p>
<ul>
<li><a href="http://github.com/cbeust/testng/">TestNG</a></li>
<li><a href="http://github.com/cbeust/testng-eclipse/">Eclipse plug-in</a></li>
<!--
<li><a href="http://code.google.com/p/testng/">TestNG</a></li>
<li><a href="http://code.google.com/p/testng-eclipse">Eclipse plug-in</a></li>

<li><a href="http://wiki.netbeans.org/TestNG">NetBeans plug-in</a></li>
</ul>
<h3><a id="bug-reports" name="bug-reports">Bug reports</a></h3>
If you think you found a bug, here is how to report it:
<ul>
<li>Create a small project that will allow us to reproduce this bug. In most cases, one or two Java source files and a <tt>testng.xml</tt> file should be sufficient. Then you can either zip it and email it to the <a href="http://groups.google.com/group/testng-dev">testng-dev mailing-list</a> or make it available on an open source hosting site, such as <a href="http://github.com">github</a> or <a href="http://code.google.com/hosting/">Google code</a> and email <tt>testng-dev</tt> so we know about it. Please make sure that this project is self contained so that we can build it right away (remove the dependencies on external or proprietary frameworks, etc...).
<li>If the bug you observed is on the Eclipse plug-in, make sure your sample project contains the <tt>.project</tt> and <tt>.classpath</tt> files.
<li><a href="https://github.com/cbeust/testng/issues">File a bug</a>.
</ul>
