What is Grouping

Grouping is a feature in TestNG where we can assign tests or classes to one or more group.

During execution, we can define what groups to include or exclude

This makes test management and execution very easy and efficient

Hello Raghav, Your videos helped me a lot to get a JOB in Accenture as "Test Automation lead" 7 months before . and am so happy in my work . If i have some doubts on any area I come back and refer your video again :)

[prashantht.v]

Very neat and crisp explanation.. Very good job.

[ravikumarshallagi]

There is a typo in d test for Regression vs xml not sure if exclude worked correctly. vl hv to check ourselves to see..

You r doing good job.. Thanks for d content..

[TahayariDan]

This actually was useful ! Thank you very much for making this video and this playlist.

[fezacell]

There is a type on the multiple group example. If a test method belongs to both included and excluded group, the excluded group takes the priority and the test method will be excluded from the test execution.

[ashesds]

One interesting point. If you have methods annotated with BeforeTest, BeforeSuite etc they will not be run automatically if they are not included in the groups also. If we want the setup and tear down methods to run irrespective of your group classifications we could use alwayrun=true for the Before and after methods

[dineshmohanty]

Hello Raghav,

I was wondering if its possible to execute certain tests only when the combination of groups match. For example, if one test has groups as "app" and "sanity" And There are other test methods present as well in the project/class. I want to executive tests which have "app" And "sanity" tags only and tests which have only app or sanity tags shouldn't run, is this possible? If so could you share some reference please?

Thank you in advance.

[karnataka]

Group tag comes between suite and test tag right ?

[basirobaidi]

Thank you. Q? How to execute test cases from multiple classes using group?

[pujasaha]

Hi Raghav..Thank u for the amazing content. Is it possible to control test case execution from datasheet instead of groups. Like can we provide in the datasheet with a column named"Execution Required" with value"Y/N" for each test case name.

[philb]

Thanks for another great video. There's something I'm stuck on. I have a class with multiple tests in it as per your example here. The results that get reported on the HTML report say the number of tests run is 1. It equates running one class with running one test when it reports. Is it possible to get it to report three tests run when I run one class with three tests in it, as per your example?

[hukamchand]

Hi Raghav, Very good explanation.
I have one question, something like this we can using "Batch" in testNG. What is the difference between batch and groups and when to use which one ?

[danieljesu]

What is the difference by adding groups in test level vs suite level...Even though you explained in words ...I am not getting that part. Please explain with some example while reply .Thanks!

[AmitKumar-pcwr]

Hi Raghav. Thanks for the video.
Need help on this. I want to take group tags from my properties file. How to achieve that.

[Rahulsingh-wuni]

Sir, I have created a TestNG class or XML file but out is coming not correct.
And I also use include in XML is still not working.

[jneeraj]

i am not getting auto suggest in testng.xml file ..please suggest raghav.

[ankitathakur]

Hi Raghav, Here you have all @test annotation in a single class file. My question is if there are... lets say 100 class files, then does all need to be included in class tag ...can we have groups for classes?

[svpradeep]

Hello Raghav, thanks for the above,
clarification - can we club groups+parameters for parallel testing on testng.xml and run them

[divyangjani]

what if there one group defined at class level . but one of method inside that class we are excluding it from testng.xml


now if we run class

will it run that method too?

because method we are excluding but it is still under that class???

[justforyou]

Hello sir, my groups does not work if we have before annotation, non of the before annotation execute if we do grouping . any solution other than Always = true?
