There are 2 ways to run TestNG tests – using Run As TestNG tests and from testng.xml.

In this tutorial, I’m explaining how to create and run tests using TestNG.xml.

Step 1 – In the below project, there is no testng.xml present.

Step 2 – Right click on class name “API_Test.java” and navigate “TestNG–>Convert to TestNG“.

Step 3 – Now a new window for testng.xml will be generated as shown below. Click the Finish Button.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE suite SYSTEM "https://testng.org/testng-1.0.dtd">
<suite name="Suite">
  <test thread-count="5" name="Test">
    <classes>
      <class name="com.example.RestAssured_TestNG_Demo.API_Test"/>
    </classes>
  </test> <!-- Test -->
</suite> <!-- Suite -->

Step 4 – A xml file named “testng.xml” will be generated in project hierarchy.

Step 5 – Right click on this testng.xml and select Run As–> Testng Suite. 

Step 6 – You will view the result in two different tabs: Console and “Results of running suite”. Below is the image of Rest of running suite tab.

Multiple Classes

Let us imagine a sceanrio where there are 3 classes and we want to run them all together, you can done that by creating a testng.xm and mention all 3 classes in that testng.xml.

Select all 3 classes and right click and navigate “TestNG–>Convert to TestNG”

This is how the testng.xml will look like for multiple classes.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE suite SYSTEM "https://testng.org/testng-1.0.dtd">
<suite name="Suite">
  <test thread-count="5" name="Test">
    <classes>
      <class name="com.example.RestAssured_TestNG_Demo.API_Test1"/>
      <class name="com.example.RestAssured_TestNG_Demo.Test3"/>
      <class name="com.example.RestAssured_TestNG_Demo.Test2"/>
    </classes>
  </test> <!-- Test -->
</suite> <!-- Suite -->

Right click on this testng.xml and select Run As–> Testng Suite.  You will get the result in two tabs: Console and “Results of running suite”. Rhis shows that all the tests present withing the three classes are executed.
