Adding Classes to testng.xml file

Adding Classes to testng.xml file, will explain you about creating and configuring TestNG test suite with classes which are developed/created in the java project. A Class may contain one or more methods in it. With this testng.xml configuration file we can include all the methods belongs to a particular class to the test suite.

Below are The Steps for Adding Classes to testng.xml file:

1.Create a java project with multiple classes in each package.

2.In the above project; created 3 packages called (com.test.firstpackage, com.test.secondpackage and com.test.thirdpackage) and each package had 2 classes.

3.Now create a testng.xml file (here the xml file name is “testng-classes.xml”)

with below code/configuration content.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE suite SYSTEM "http://testng.org/testng-1.0.dtd">
<suite name="Suite">
  <test name="ClassTest">
    <classes>
      <class name="com.test.firstpackage.FirstClassInFirstPackage"/>
      <class name="com.test.firstpackage.SecondClassInFirstPackage"/>
      <class name="com.test.secondpackage.FirstClassInSecondPackage"/>
      <class name="com.test.secondpackage.SecondClassInSecondPackage"/>
      <class name="com.test.thirdpackage.FirstClassInThirdPackage"/>
      <class name="com.test.thirdpackage.SecondClassInThirdPackage"/>
    </classes>
  </test> <!-- Test -->
</suite> <!-- Suite →

In the above code, Classes will be reside in the “classes” tag and the each individual class will be in the “class” tag with “name” attribute.

4.Now execute the “testng-classes.xml” file from eclipse as TestNG suite. Then you can see the following output.
