Description tetsu 2008-03-20 04:37:40 UTC 
As a unit test solution, JUnit has been a long time. Writing tests for today's complex environment has become an 
increasingly difficult task, but both JUnit 3 and 4 cannnot help developer as much as they did before. So why don't 
intergrate TestNG into Netbeans? 
Some expected functions:
1. Can select test framwork. User can choose which test framework to use.
2. Can coexist with JUnit. In a project, different test classes can coexist.
3. Provide converter that can convert JUnit 3/4 test classes into TestNG automatically.
4. Provide coverage function.

My company uses testng exclusively, along with Eclipse. I've been a Netbeans advocate for a while now, but I have a hard
time swaying votes because of the lack of testng support. Help me evangelize! Give us TestNG support!

Thanks

=> contrib/testng
Comment 4 ballbreaker 2010-08-26 09:09:21 UTC 
that is really important feature.

Is this an abandoned bug?  The TestNG is hard to find on the site, sort of seems to work, but the library is not added to the list of libraries when you install it.  What needs to be done to get this finished for Netbeans 7.x?
Comment 6 Lukas Jungmann 2011-05-16 14:20:09 UTC 
some basic support is already available at plugin portal

I believe this issue should be reopened. TestNG is completely unusable under Netbeans 7.1 Ant projects. See bug 207886.

It's not clear what you mean by "basic support is already available". What is supposed to be working exactly?
Comment 9 Lukas Jungmann 2012-01-29 22:36:41 UTC 
(6.1 != 7.1) => it is not guaranteed that plugin for 6.1 will work w/o any issues and fixes in 7.1.

Be aware that this plugin is not part of NB distro and therefore it is really hard to release it at the same time as the NB release... update for 7.1 is pending or use development update center if you need up-to-date version of the plugin, you may only have to use trunk instead of 7.1 for now
