Executing testng.xml

Let us dive into the Execution of the TestNG via Maven.
Maven supports TestNG out of the box without any need of downloading any additional plugins.

• Add Maven Surefire Plugin under the <plugins>

• Need to Specify TestNg dependency in pom.xml

• Add Suite XML File under <configuration> mentioning the correct testng.xml file name under <suiteXmlFile>

• Execute via = mvn test

On Completion of tests, TestNG creates a default Report; Creating a new folder with the Suite name mentioned in the .xml file.

• NOTE: The hierarchy of the XML file is - first <suite> tag, next <test> tag and then lastly <classes> tag. As stated we can name anything to the Suite and Tests but, the class name has to be perfect with the .java.

Handling multiple tests in one TestNG file :

• As <suite> is the top-most in the hierarchy, this is where we've to place our test classes.
  Example: testng-multiple-tests.xml, used Second Test Case Login. Also, ensure the same testng file name is used in POM under <suiteXmlFile>
