TestNG is a testing framework inspired from JUnit and NUnit but introducing some new functionalities that make it more powerful and easier to use, such as:

    * JDK 5 Annotations (JDK 1.4 is also supported with JavaDoc annotations).
    * Flexible test configuration.
    * Support for data-driven testing (with @DataProvider).
    * Support for parameters.
    * Allows distribution of tests on slave machines.
    * Powerful execution model (no more TestSuite).
    * Supported by a variety of tools and plug-ins (Eclipse, IDEA, Maven, etc...).
    * Embeds BeanShell for further flexibility.
    * Default JDK functions for runtime and logging (no dependencies).
    * Dependent methods for application server testing.

TestNG is designed to cover all categories of tests: unit, functional, end-to-end, integration, etc...
