Advance Reporting for Automated Software Test Using ReportNG
ReportNG is open-source software, a simple plug-in for the TestNG which is a simple framework to generate HTML reports as a replacement for the default TestNG HTML reports.
To use ReportNG reports, we need to follow the below three steps:
Steps to Run Advance Reporting using Reportng
1. Download the Reportng Package
Download respective package, extract it & add JarFiles to your project build path.
To Download latest reportng.jar.
To Download latest velocity-dep.jar
To Download guice.jar
If you are using a Maven project for your test automation then add below dependency to your pom.xml file :
XML
<dependency>
<groupId>org.uncommons</groupId>
<artifactId>reportng</artifactId>
<version>1.1.4</version>
<scope>test</scope>
<exclusions>
<exclusion>
<groupId>org.testng</groupId>
<artifactId>testng</artifactId>
</exclusion>
</exclusions>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>com.google.inject</groupId>
<artifactId>guice</artifactId>
<version>3.0</version>
</ dependency >
2. Add Listeners to testng.xml
Now add below listeners to testng.xml file under tag.
<listeners>
<listener class-name=”org.uncommons.reportng.HTMLReporter”/>
</listeners>
</suite>
Finally your testng.xml file will look similar as shown below:
<?xml version=”1.0″ encoding=”UTF-8″?>
<!DOCTYPE suite SYSTEM “http://testng.org/testng-1.0.dtd”>
<suite name=”Jenkins Implementation”>
<listeners>
<listener class-name=”org.uncommons.reportng.HTMLReporter”/>
</listeners>
<test name=”Demo Test 1″>
<classes>
<class name=”com.sample.jenkins_demo.LoginTest” />
</classes>
</test>
<test name=”Demo Test 2″>
<classes>
<class name=”com.sample.jenkins_demo.AddReviewTest” />
</classes>
</test >
</suite >
3. Final Run on the Test
Now run your performance test either as TestNG Suite or Reportng Maven test.
If you run as a normal TestNG suite, you will be able to see under test-output folder HTML folder that will be -generated containing ReportNG report.
If you run as Maven test then, under target > surefire-reports ‘HTML’ folder will generate ReportNG report.
4. Check the Report
Open index.HTML from HTML folder in a browser, you will come across a good interactive report for your test result.
