How to Ignore Tests in Testng

If we don’t want execute specific test Method while executing entire script, we can use TestNG annotation @Test(enabled = false). This TestNG annotation allows us to ignore specific test.

In which all scenarios we can use TestNG annotation @Test(enabled = false) ? :

• some time specific test may be outdated,
• code is not yet ready

@Test(enabled = false): If a test method is annotated with @Test(enabled = false), then the test that is not ready to test is ignored.

@Test(enabled =true): If a test method is annotated with @Test(enabled =true), then the test will get execute

Now, let’s see how to ignore TestNG test using a script.

TestMethod 1: with @Test(enabled =true)

       @Test(enabled=true)
        public void openMyBlog()
        {
           driver.get("https://mahantesh-hadimani.blogspot.com/");
        }

     

TestMethod 2: with @Test(enabled = false)

       @Test(enabled=false)
        public void openGoogle()
        {
           driver.get("https://mahantesh-hadimani.blogspot.com/");
        }

testng.xml file:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE suite SYSTEM "http://testng.org/testng-1.0.dtd">
<suite name="Suite">
   <test name="Test">
     <classes>
        <class name="testCases.TestCase_1"/>
     </classes>
   </test>
</suite> 

Complete Script:

package testCases;


import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.chrome.ChromeDriver;
import org.testng.annotations.AfterClass;
import org.testng.annotations.BeforeClass;
import org.testng.annotations.Test;

public class TestCase_1 {

        
        public WebDriver driver;
        
         @Test(enabled=true)
         public void openMyBlog() {
          driver.get("https://mahantesh-hadimani.blogspot.com/");
         }
        
         @Test(enabled=false)
         public void openGoogle() {
          driver.get("https://mahantesh-hadimani.blogspot.com/");
         }
        
         @BeforeClass
         public void beforeClass() {
         
          System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", "D:\\chromedriver.exe");
          driver = new ChromeDriver();
         
         }
        
         @AfterClass
         public void afterClass() {
          driver.quit();
         }

       }
