Study Notes

TestNG Overview

TestNG covers various types of test designs.

XML File in TestNG

The purpose of creating an XML file in TestNG is to configure and run test cases.

Groups in TestNG

Groups are used in TestNG to categorize test cases based on specific criteria.
There are two mechanisms supported in TestNG for grouping test cases: include and exclude.
A group can be defined in TestNG using the @Test annotation with the groups attribute.

Group Mechanisms in TestNG

The include mechanism is used to specify which test cases to include in a group.
The exclude mechanism is used to specify which test cases to exclude from a group.

Example XML File

The example XML file uses group names such as strong_ties and bonding.

Test Case Grouping

The @Test annotation with the groups attribute indicates that a test case belongs to a specific group.
Test cases can be grouped based on specific criteria, such as functional areas or test environments.

Test Types in TestNG

TestNG supports various types of tests, including functional, regression, and integration testing.

Code Details

The code provided is written in Java.
The launchPageHeading variable is used to store the heading of the launch page.
The tc02VerifyLaunchPage method is used to verify the launch page.
The tc03EnterCredentials method is used to enter credentials.
The managerID variable is used to store the manager's ID.
The newCustomer variable is used to store the new customer's information.
The fundTransfer variable is used to store the fund transfer details.

Grouping and Running Test Cases

Test cases can be tagged to specific groups, such as strong_ties and bonding.
Test cases can be run by specifying the group name in the XML file.
If the XML file is updated with the strong_ties group name, only test cases tagged to that group will run.
If the XML file is updated with the bonding group name, only test cases tagged to that group will run.
If a test case is tagged to both the strong_ties and bonding groups, it will run when either group is specified.
Removing the Group tag from the running XML will run all test cases.
Including the group name in the XML will run only test cases specific to that group.
The Exclude mechanism can be used to exclude a test case from running.
The Include mechanism can be used to include specific test cases in a run.

Description

TestNG Groups - Include & Exclude (Example) is a quiz that tests your knowledge on using TestNG's grouping feature to include and exclude specific test cases. This quiz covers topics such as creating XML configurations, running single or multiple packages, and organizing tests based on different test designs. TestNG is a popular testing framework used for unit, functional, end-to-end, UI, and integration tests.
