,About the Tutorial
TestNG is a testing framework developed in the lines of JUnit and NUnit,
however it introduces some new functionalities that make it more powerful and
easier to use.
TestNG is designed to cover all categories of tests: unit, functional, end-to-end,
integration, etc., and it requires JDK 5 or higher.
This tutorial provides a good understanding on TestNG framework needed to test
an enterprise-level application to deliver it with robustness and reliability.
Audience
This tutorial is designed for software professionals interested in learning the
features of TestNG Framework in simple and easy steps and implement it in
practice.
Prerequisites
Before proceeding with this tutorial, you should have a basic understanding of
Java programming language, text editor, and execution of programs, etc. As you
are going to use TestNG to handle all levels of Java project testing, it will be
