Working with TestNG - Starters Guide

TestNG framework is for Java so make sure that JDK installed and also eclipse because we are using eclipse to work with TestNG.

Install Java Software Development Kit (SDK) from below link http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/index.html

To set environment for Java:

Set the JAVA_HOME environment variable to the base directory location where Java is installed.

For windows to set the environment variable JAVA_HOME: C:\ProgramFiles\Java\jdk1.8.0_25

For Linux Export JAVA_HOME=/usr/local/java-current

For MacExport JAVA_HOME=/Library/Java/Home

To add Java compiler location to System Path:

For windows add the path C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_25\bin at end of system variable Path by putting semicolon at the end. Do not delete/edit old path.

For Linux Export PATH=$PATH:$JAVA_HOME/bin/

For Mac not required

To verify Java Installation using the command javac:

 Go to command prompt and type the command javac you should get this out if java is successfully installed.

Here in eclipse we are enabling TestNG. We can also execute JUnit test outside the eclipse that is discussed in future topics.

Verify the setup of TestNG

To verify the setup of TestNG:

• Creating a java class file named classA at C:\>Users\testng\workspace.
  

  package TestNG;
  import org.TestNG.annotations.Test;
  import staticorg.TestNG.Assert;
  
  public class classA {@Test
  	publicvoid method1() {
  		System.out.println("inside the method1");
  		String msg = "Welcome to TestNG";
  		assertEquals("Welcome to TestNG", msg);
  	}
  }

• Run the above program by clicking on Run button of eclipse.
