As you already know, TestNG or Test Next Generation is one of the most frequently used automation testing frameworks in Java. Inspired by JUnit and NUnit, Cedric Beust created TestNG with the idea of covering almost all types of testing models, be it functional or end-to-end. The annotations, functionalities, usability, features, and ease-of-use make TestNG a very popular choice of framework. Listed below are some of the major benefits of using TestNG-

• The reporting feature provides a detailed XML report of every successful, failed, or skipped test.
• Parallel testing assists testers in running multiple test cases with the added benefit of CI/CD integration.
• The annotations feature allows developers to handle exceptions and understand the code easily.
• Test cases can be grouped together or prioritized easily.
• Flexible runtime configuration.
