FAQ’s on Exclude Include Test Cases in TestNG
Where can I use the @Ignore annotation?
Ans: The @Ignore annotation is both a class and a method level annotation. If you wish to ignore an entire class, use it at the class level. If you just want to ignore a method, annotate the method with this.
Where can I use the <groups>…</groups> tag inside testng.xml?
Ans: You can you the groups tag either inside the <suite><suite> tag or the <test></test> tag only.
Can I rename the testng.xml file to anything else?
Ans: No. The testng.xml file is a unique one and if you change it to anything else other than the regular expression allowed, then it will not be detected by the test environment and you will not be able to use the file to run your test.
Can I place the testng.xml file anywhere I want?
Ans: No. You should not place the testng.xml file anywhere you want. It should only be placed at the same level as the pom.xml file in order to be detected by the test environment. Also make sure that the test classes follow the tree structure as depicted in the article.

- FAQ’s on Exclude Include Test Cases in TestNG
Include and exclude features in TestNG allow us to stop and allow tests from executing on the go. This means that if we have written a test that we do not want to execute in some situation, we can simply ignore that test case, test method, or test suite without having to delete it entirely. This way, if we ever need to run these tests again, all we need to do is simply enable them.
