Read it out for TESTNG before going for an iterview

How to run a group of test cases using TestNG? TestNG allows you to perform sophisticated groupings of test methods. Not only can you declare that methods belong to groups, but you can also specify groups that contain other groups. Then TestNG can be invoked and asked to include a certain set of groups (or regular expressions) while excluding another set.  This gives you maximum flexibility in how you partition your tests and doesn’t require you to recompile anything if you want to run two different sets of tests back to back. Groups are specified in your testng.xml file and can be found either under the <test> or <suite> tag. Groups specified in the <suite> tag apply to all the <test> tags underneath. @Test (groups = { "smokeTest", "functionalTest" }) public void loginTest(){ System.out.println("Logged in successfully"); }   How to create Group of Groups in TestNG? Groups can also inc...
