<!-- Here is a quick overview of the main parts of this DTD. For more information, refer to the <a href="http://testng.org" >main web site</a>. A <b>suite</b> is made of <b>tests</b> and <b>parameters</b>. A <b>test</b> is made of three parts: <ul> <li> <b>parameters</b>, which override the suite parameters <li> <b>groups</b>, made of two parts <li> <b>classes</b>, defining which classes are going to be part of this test run </ul> In turn, <b>groups</b> are made of two parts: <ul> <li> Definitions, which allow you to group groups into bigger groups <li> Runs, which defines the groups that the methods must belong to in order to be run during this test </ul> Cedric Beust & Alexandru Popescu @title DTD for TestNG @root suite --> <!-- A suite is the top-level element of a testng.xml file --> <!ELEMENT suite (listeners|packages|test|parameter|method-selectors|suite-files)* > <!-- Attributes: --> <!-- @attr name The name of this suite (as it will appear in the reports) @attr junit Whether to run in JUnit mode. @attr verbose How verbose the output on the console will be.
