3. TestNG

TestNG is a testing framework inspired from JUnit and NUnit but introducing some new functionalities that make it more powerful and easier to use, such as:

• Annotations.

• Run your tests in arbitrarily big thread pools with various policies available (all methods in their own thread, one thread per test class, etc...).

• Test that your code is multithread safe.

• Flexible test configuration.

• Support for data-driven testing (with @DataProvider).

• Support for parameters.

• Powerful execution model (no more TestSuite).

• Supported by a variety of tools and plug-ins (Eclipse, IDEA, Maven, etc...).

• Embeds BeanShell for further flexibility.

• Default JDK functions for runtime and logging (no dependencies).

• Dependent methods for application server testing.
