Getting Started with TestNG

Getting Started with TestNG


Update (08/05/2005): The TestNG Maven Plug-in comes with the latest release of TestNG. For the most up-to-date version of the plug-in, please download TestNG.

Are you test infected? Test addicted? If you've ever dreamed of using an automated testing framework that was easy to develop in and painless to configure, then look no further! TestNG, a newly developed open-source automated testing framework, is incredibly powerful, yet amazingly flexible.

With TestNG, there is no need to extend from a base class or even follow a naming pattern for test cases. You can write fully automated tests without even adding a new binary dependency. TestNG's agility comes from its use of annotations; what's more, you can fully utilize them in pre Java 5.0.

If you are currently developing on the Java 1.4 platform and using Maven for a build system, getting started with TestNG couldn't be any easier. All you need to get started is the TestNG Maven plug-in and something to test! Watch the two minute demo and see for yourself. For Eclipse users, TestNG does have a plug-in.
