Adding Packages to testng.xml file

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

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

1.Create a java project with multiple packages and 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-packages.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="PackageTest">
    <packages>
      <package name="com.test.firstpackage"/>
      <package name="com.test.secondpackage"/>
      <package name="com.test.thirdpackage"/>
    </packages>
  </test> <!-- Test -->
</suite> <!-- Suite -- >

In the above code, packages will be reside in the “packages” tag and the each individual package will be in the “package” tag with “name” attribute.

4.Now execute the “testng-packages.xml” file from eclipse as TestNG suite.

Then you can see the following output.
