🚩 What is TestNG Framework?
TestNG is an open-source testing framework based on Java, designed to simplify a wide range of testing needs such as unit testing, functional testing, integration testing, regression testing, and end-to-end testing.
It provides powerful features like:
- Test grouping
- Test prioritization
- Test dependencies
- Parallel execution
- Annotations-based configuration
- Detailed HTML reports
🔧 Core Functions of a Test Framework
- ✅ Test execution management
- ✅ Pre and post test configuration
- ✅ Test result reporting
- ✅ Dependency management
- ✅ Parallel execution support
- ✅ Logging and debugging support
📌 Why TestNG is Used in Selenium?
TestNG integrates seamlessly with Selenium to manage test execution, reporting, and data-driven testing. It allows automation engineers to structure test suites efficiently and run large automation suites in parallel.
