What Is Testng and How Is It Better Than Junit?

TestNG is a test automation framework inspired by JUnit and NUnit that allows developers to write flexible and powerful tests. It can perform more complex testing than JUnit by grouping test cases and executing them in parallel. TestNG provides more configurable annotations, supports dependencies between tests, and generates detailed reports to analyze application performance. Overall, TestNG offers more features than JUnit for complex testing needs across unit, integration, and end-to-end levels.

What is TestNG and how is it better than Junit?

What is TestNG?
• TestNG, where NG stands for “Next Generation” is a test automation framework inspired by
JUnit (in Java) and NUnit (in C#).
• Main purpose of TestNG is to cover all categories of test automation i.e., unit, functional,
integration, and end-to-end testing.
• TestNG has gained a lot of popularity within a short time and is one of the most widely used
testing frameworks among Java developers.
• TestNG mainly uses Java annotations to configure and write test methods.
• In order to be able to use this TestNG automation framework, you need to have at least a
basic knowledge of Java programming language.
• TestNG generates the report that is very useful to analyze the application performances.
• Eliminating most of the limitations of the older framework, TestNG gives the developer the
ability to write more flexible and powerful tests.
Features and Advantages of TestNG Over JUnit
• TestNG can do a lot more complex automation testing, because of its ability of grouping test
cases and executing these groups. For example, if you have defined many test cases and
assigned them to 2 different groups, you can execute any particular group passing its name
to TestNG. Unlike TestNG, Junit cannot perform Group tests, have objects as parameters, or
have dependencies between methods.
• In TestNG, no constraint for mandatory annotations (in JUnit @BeforeClass and
@AfterClass are mandatory).
• There is no constraint for naming TestNG methods. You can give the method an arbitrary
name.
• In TestNG we can have dependency between methods, while in JUnit it is not possible.
• TestNG allows us to create parallel tests.
• TestNG support for multi threaded testing.
• No need to extend any classes.
• TestNG has a wider range of SetUp/Teardown annotations, including @Before/AfterSuite,
@Before/AfterTest and @Before/AfterGroup.
• Asserts, that help us to verify the conditions of the test and decide whether it failed or
passed. TestNG supports assertion of a test using the Assert class and assertion plays an
important role when performing automation testing on an application. With asserts we can
check if two values are equal (assertEquals, assertNotSame), check if the output values exist
(assertNotNull), check conditions (assertTrue, assertFalse), etc.
• Supports unit testing as well as integration testing.
• Provides more annotations as compared to JUnit.
• Integrates very easily with maven and gradle build tools.
• We can execute tests in particular order.
