\nTestNG Testing Skill
\nWhen to Use
\nUse this skill when you need generates TestNG tests in Java with groups, data providers, parallel execution, XML suite configuration, and listeners. Use when user mentions \"TestNG\", \"@DataProvider\", \"testng.xml\", \"groups\". Triggers on: \"TestNG\", \"@DataProvider\", \"testng.xml\", \"TestNG suite\", \"parallel tests Java\".
\nCore Patterns
\nBasic Test with Groups
\nimport org.testng.annotations.*;\nimport org.testng.Assert;\n\npublic class LoginTest {\n @BeforeMethod\n public void setUp() { /* setup */ }\n\n @Test(groups = \"smoke\")\n public void testLoginSuccess() {\n Assert.assertTrue(loginService.login(\"user@test.com\", \"password123\"));\n }\n\n @Test(groups = \"regression\", dependsOnMethods = \"testLoginSuccess\")\n public void testAccessDashboard() {\n Assert.assertNotNull(dashboard.getContent());\n }\n\n @Test(expectedExceptions = AuthenticationException.class)\n public void testLoginInvalidPassword() {\n loginService.login(\"user@test.com\", \"wrong\");\n }\n\n @AfterMethod\n public void tearDown() { /* cleanup */ }\n}\n
\nData Providers
\n@DataProvider(name = \"loginData\")\npublic Object[][] loginData() {\n return new Object[][] {\n {\"admin@test.com\", \"admin123\", true},\n {\"user@test.com\", \"password\", true},\n {\"invalid@test.com\", \"wrong\", false},\n };\n}\n\n@Test(dataProvider = \"loginData\")\npublic void testLogin(String email, String password, boolean expected) {\n Assert.assertEquals(loginService.login(email, password), expected);\n}\n
\nTestNG XML Suite
\n<!DOCTYPE suite SYSTEM \"https://testng.org/testng-1.0.dtd\">\n<suite name=\"Regression\" parallel=\"tests\" thread-count=\"5\">\n <test name=\"Smoke\">\n <groups><run><include name=\"smoke\"/></run></groups>\n <classes><class name=\"tests.LoginTest\"/></classes>\n </test>\n <test name=\"Full\">\n <groups><run><include name=\"regression\"/><exclude name=\"flaky\"/></run></groups>\n <packages><package name=\"tests.*\"/></packages>\n </test>\n</suite>\n
\nParallel Execution
\n<suite parallel=\"methods\" thread-count=\"5\"> <!-- Method level -->\n<suite parallel=\"classes\" thread-count=\"5\"> <!-- Class level -->\n<suite parallel=\"tests\" thread-count=\"5\"> <!-- Test level -->\n
\nSoft Assertions
\nSoftAssert soft = new SoftAssert();\nsoft.assertEquals(user.getName(), \"Alice\");\nsoft.assertEquals(user.getAge(), 25);\nsoft.assertTrue(user.isActive());\nsoft.assertAll(); // Reports all failures at once\n
\nListeners
\npublic class TestListener implements ITestListener {\n @Override public void onTestFailure(ITestResult result) {\n System.out.println(\"Failed: \" + result.getName());\n // Take screenshot, log, etc.\n }\n}\n\n@Listeners(TestListener.class)\npublic class LoginTest { /* ... */ }\n
\nLifecycle Annotations
\n@BeforeSuite → @BeforeTest → @BeforeClass → @BeforeMethod → @Test → @AfterMethod → @AfterClass → @AfterTest → @AfterSuite\n
\nAnti-Patterns
\n\n\n\n| Bad | \nGood | \nWhy | \n
\n\n\n\ndependsOnMethods everywhere | \nIndependent tests | \nCascading failures | \n
\n\n| No groups | \n@Test(groups = \"smoke\") | \nCan't run subsets | \n
\n\n| Hard-coded test data | \n@DataProvider | \nReusable | \n
\n\n| Priority ordering | \nIndependent tests | \nFragile | \n

\nLimitations
\n\n- Use this skill only when the task clearly matches its upstream source and local project context.
\n- Verify commands, generated code, dependencies, credentials, and external service behavior before applying changes.
\n- Do not treat examples as a substitute for environment-specific tests, security review, or user approval for destructive or costly actions.
