TestNG

TestNG is a testing framework designed to streamline the testing process for software developers, quality assurance/testers, DevOps engineers, IT consultants, and technology companies. According to the vendor, TestNG offers a range of features and flexible test configuration options suitable for businesses of any size. Its annotations provide an intuitive and readable way to organize and structure tests, with annotations like @Test, @BeforeSuite, and @AfterMethod allowing users to define the behavior and execution order of tests.

TestNG allows tests to be run in thread pools with configurable policies, providing the potential for parallel test execution and improved performance. The vendor claims that TestNG also facilitates the testing of multithread safety in code by executing test methods concurrently in multiple threads.

According to the vendor, TestNG offers flexible test configuration options at various levels such as suite, test, class, and method. Users can customize settings like test timeouts, data providers, and listeners to create a tailored test execution environment.

TestNG supports data-driven testing with the @DataProvider annotation, allowing users to run the same test method with different sets of data. The vendor states that TestNG also provides support for parameterization, enabling users to pass parameters to test methods.

The vendor claims that TestNG introduces a powerful execution model that eliminates the need for a separate TestSuite. Users can define test classes and methods directly, simplifying test organization and execution.

TestNG is supported by a variety of tools and plugins, including Eclipse, IntelliJ IDEA, and Maven, according to the vendor. This integration is said to enhance productivity and provide a smooth testing experience for developers and testers.

The vendor states that TestNG embeds BeanShell, a lightweight scripting language for Java, allowing users to write custom scripts for complex test operations or test behavior customization.
