12Here is a quick overview of the main parts of this DTD.  For more information,
13refer to the &lt;a <span class="attribute">href="http://testng.org"</span> &gt;main web site<span class="tag">&lt;/a&gt;.
14
15</span>
16A <span class="tag">&lt;b&gt;suite&lt;/b&gt;</span> is made of <span class="tag">&lt;b&gt;tests&lt;/b&gt;</span> and <span class="tag">&lt;b&gt;parameters&lt;/b&gt;.
17</span>
18
19A <span class="tag">&lt;b&gt;test&lt;/b&gt;</span> is made of three parts:
20
21<span class="tag">&lt;ul&gt;
22&lt;li&gt;</span> <span class="tag">&lt;b&gt;parameters&lt;/b&gt;,</span> which override the suite parameters
23<span class="tag">&lt;li&gt;</span> <span class="tag">&lt;b&gt;groups&lt;/b&gt;,</span> made of two parts
24
25<span class="tag">&lt;li&gt;</span> <span class="tag">&lt;b&gt;classes&lt;/b&gt;,</span> defining which classes are going to be part
26  of this test run
27<span class="tag">&lt;/ul&gt;
28</span>
29In turn, <span class="tag">&lt;b&gt;groups&lt;/b&gt;</span> are made of two parts:
30
31<span class="tag">&lt;ul&gt;
32&lt;li&gt;</span> Definitions, which allow you to group groups into
33  bigger groups
34<span class="tag">&lt;li&gt;</span> Runs, which defines the groups that the methods
35  must belong to in order to be run during this test
36<span class="tag">&lt;/ul&gt;

51@attr  name        The name of this suite (as it will appear in the reports)
52@attr  junit       Whether to run in JUnit mode.
53@attr  verbose     How verbose the output on the console will be.
54                This setting has no impact on the HTML reports.
55@attr  parallel   Whether TestNG should use different threads
56                to run your tests (might speed up the process)
57@attr  configfailurepolicy  Whether to continue attempting Before/After
58                Class/Methods after they've failed once or just skip remaining.
59@attr  thread-count An integer giving the size of the thread pool to use
60                if you set parallel.
61@attr  annotations  If "javadoc", TestNG will look for
62                JavaDoc annotations in your sources, otherwise it will
63                use JDK5 annotations.
64@attr  time-out     The time to wait in milliseconds before aborting the
65                method (if <span class="attribute">parallel="methods"</span> ) or the test (parallel="tests")
66@attr  skipfailedinvocationCounts Whether to skip failed invocations.
67@attr  data-provider-thread-count An integer giving the size of the thread pool to use
68       for parallel data providers.

70       instantiate the test objects.
