 <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>

 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.
