How to Run a testng.xml File From Batch for a Maven Project?
TestNG is a testing framework and can use Maven as build tool. It helps to maintain dependencies and their version at one place in pom.xml
Maven provides flexibility to run using surefire plugin. If a user has multiple testng.xml files (please note one testng files contains only one test suite), he/she may run the specific suite based on the requirement. Maven provides the flexibility to define suiteXMLFiles as variable and pass the value of variable at run time using command line. And, at the same time user can create batch file using this command and run it as batch file.
In this article we will illustrate how to run specific TestNG suite with maven using batch file.
Approach/Algorithm to solve this problem
Step 1: Create a TestNG classes − NewTestngClass
Step 2: Write 2 @Test method in the class.
Step 3: Now create the testNG.xml as given
Step 4: Add suiteXMLFiles tag in pom.xml and mention a variable name as ${xmlFilePath} for testng.xml file path as shown in program section.
Step 5: Now, create a batch file using command line as mvn clean test −DxmlFilePath=<testng.xml filepath>.
Run the batch file.
Example
src/ NewTestngClass.java
import org.testng.annotations.Test;
public class NewTestngClass {
@Test()
public void testCase1() {
System.out.println("in test case 1 of NewTestngClass");
}
@Test(groups = { "group2", "group3" })
public void testCase2() {
System.out.println("in test case 2 of NewTestngClass");
}
}
pom.xml
This is a maven configuration file that is used to organize dependencies, plugins and run the TestNG test cases.
It is very handy when limited tests are needed to execute rather than full suite.

Batch file
Write the following command and save as .bat file
set projectLocation=C:\locationOfYourProject\locationOfYourTestNGXmlFile cd %projectLocation% mvn clean test -DxmlFilePath=src/main/java/testng.xml
Output
