TestNG Reports:<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

TestNG Reports come into picture when we execute the test cases using TestNG Report generation is very important when you perform Manual Testing and Automation Testing. By going through the result, you can easily identify how many test cases are passed, how many are failed and how many test cases are skipped.By looking at the result report, you will know the status of the project. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Selenium WebDriver is used only for automation, but it won\u2019t generate any reports. In this situation, TestNG plays a crucial role right after executing test cases, automatically generating detailed default HTML reports. Enroll in an Selenium certification<\/a> course to learn how to efficiently utilize Selenium and TestNG for comprehensive test automation setups.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These reports provide an organized view of the test results, including information on passed, failed, and skipped test cases, making it easy for testers to quickly assess the status of their test suite. With TestNG\u2019s built-in reporting, you gain an at-a-glance overview of your test outcomes, allowing for efficient debugging and better overall test management without needing any additional configuration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Using 3 Methods we can generate the TestNG Reports:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. emailable-report.html<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. index.html<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Reporter Class<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    Method 1:<\/strong> emailable-report.html<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Generally TestNG will generate default reports. You will get test-output folder when you execute testng.xml file and refresh the project. Right-click on emailable-report.html in test-output folder and select the option open with the web browser.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Let us consider the below scenario which has three methods passTest, failTest and skipTest with @Test annotation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Step 1:<\/strong> Launch the Eclipse<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Step 2:<\/strong> Create a New Package<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Step 3:<\/strong> Create a New Java Class \u201cEmailReport\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    package<\/strong> testngpackage;\n\nimport<\/strong> org.testng.Assert;\nimport<\/strong> org.testng.SkipException;\nimport<\/strong> org.testng.annotations.Test;\n\npublic<\/strong> class<\/strong> EmailReport {\n\/\/To make it pass\n@Test\npublic<\/strong> void<\/strong> passTest(){\nAssert.assertTrue<\/em>(true<\/strong>);\n}\n\/\/To make it fail\n@Test\npublic<\/strong> void<\/strong> failTest(){\nAssert.assertTrue<\/em>(false<\/strong>);\n}\n\/\/To make it skip\n@Test\npublic<\/strong> void<\/strong> skipTest(){\nthrow<\/strong> new<\/strong> SkipException(\"Skipping - This method is skipped testing \");\n}\n}<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
    Step 4:<\/strong> Create a TestNG.xml file<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    <?xml version=\"1.0\"<\/em> encoding=\"UTF-8\"<\/em>?>\n<!DOCTYPE suite SYSTEM \"http:\/\/testng.org\/testng-1.0.dtd\">\n<suite name=\"testngpackage\"<\/em> parallel=\"methods\"<\/em>>\n<test name=\"testngTest\"<\/em>>\n<classes>\n<class name=\"testngpackage.EmailReport\"<\/em> \/>\n<\/classes>\n<\/test>\n<\/suite><\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
    Step 5:<\/strong> Execute the testng.xml file and refresh the project. You can see your project as the below image.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    \"testng.PNG\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
    Expand \u2018test-output\u2019 folder and you should find a report \u201demailable-report.html<\/em><\/strong>\u2018 which is the default report generated by TestNG.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    \"report.PNG\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
    Step 6: Right-click on emailable -report.html<\/em><\/strong> and select open with<\/strong> and click on web browser<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
    \"web.PNG\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
    Report will be like as shown below:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    \"pic1.PNG\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
    \"pic2.PNG\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
    Method 2: <\/strong>index.html<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
    Expand \u2018test-output\u2019 folder and you find an option \u201dindex.html<\/a><\/em><\/strong>\u2018 which is the default report generated by TestNG.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    \"index.PNG\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
    Right-click on index.html<\/em><\/strong> and select open with<\/strong> and click on web browser<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
    \"web1.PNG\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
    Report will be like as shown below:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    \"index1.PNG\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
    Method 3: <\/strong>Reporter Class<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
    Along with the above two methods to generate reports, you can use the object.properties file to store the system-generated logs as well as user-generated logs. Using Reporter Class is one of the simplest ways to store log information in testing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
    Reporter class is an inbuilt class in TestNG. It helps in storing the logs inside the reports which are user-generated or system-generated so that in the future when we look at the report, we can directly view the logs from there instead of rerunning the test cases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    Reporter is a class present in TestNG. It has four different methods to store log information:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      \n
    1. Reporter.log(String s);<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    2. Reporter.log(String s, Boolean logToStandardOut);<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    3. Reporter.log(String s, int level);<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    4. Reporter.log(String s, int level, Boolean logToStandardOut);<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
      Following syntax is used to use the reporter class<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Reporter.log(string);<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Simply we need to call the \u201clog<\/em><\/strong>\u201d function of the Reporter class of TestNG.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Example<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Create a class as GoogleTest and write the following code inside the classes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      package<\/strong> com.sampletestpackage;\n\nimport<\/strong> org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;\nimport<\/strong> org.openqa.selenium.chrome.ChromeDriver;\nimport<\/strong> org.testng.Reporter;\n\/\/import org.openqa.selenium.firefox.FirefoxDriver;\n\/\/import org.openqa.selenium.ie.InternetExplorerDriver;\nimport<\/strong> org.testng.annotations.Test;\n\npublic<\/strong> class<\/strong> GoogleTest {\n\nWebDriver driver;\n@Test(priority = 1) \npublic<\/strong> void<\/strong> driverSetup()\n{ \n\/\/ System.setProperty(\"webdriver.gecko.driver\", \"src\\\\main\\\\java\\\\com\\\\browserdrivers\\\\geckodriver.exe\");\nSystem.setProperty<\/em>(\"webdriver.chrome.driver\", \"src\\\\main\\\\java\\\\com\\\\browserdrivers\\\\chromedriver.exe\");\n\/\/System.setProperty(\"webdriver.ie.driver\", \"src\\\\main\\\\java\\\\com\\\\browserdrivers\\\\IEDriverServer.exe\");\n\ndriver=new<\/strong> ChromeDriver(); \nReporter.log<\/em>(\"The browser is opened\");\n\n} \n@Test(priority = 2) \npublic<\/strong> void<\/strong> getURL()\n{ \n  driver.get(\"https:\/\/www.google.com\");\n     \/\/ System.out.println(\"Launching Google site\"); \n      Reporter.log<\/em>(\"The Google Site is Launched\");\n\n} \n@Test(priority = 3) \npublic<\/strong> void<\/strong> getTitle()\n{ \n  String title = driver.getTitle(); \n  System.out<\/em><\/strong>.println(title); \n      Reporter.log<\/em>(\"Prints the web page title\");\n\n  } \n@Test(priority = 4) \npublic<\/strong> void<\/strong> closeBrowser()\n{ \n  driver.close(); \n  \/\/System.out.println(\"Test successfully passed\"); \n      Reporter.log<\/em>(\"Close the driver\");\n\n  } \n\n}<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
