Difference between TestNG And Junit framework

Difference between TestNG and

JUnit framework 

TestNG vs. JUnit

Both TestNG and JUnit are popular Java testing frameworks, but they differ in several key areas:

FeatureTestNGJUnit
Inception2004 by Cédric Beust1997 by Kent Beck and Erich Gamma
AnnotationsRich set including @BeforeSuite, @DataProviderCore annotations like @Before, @After, @Test
Test Configuration FileUses testng.xml for suite and group definitionsNo native XML configuration (JUnit 5 has junit-platform.xml for configuration only)
Dependency ManagementSupports method/group dependencies (dependsOnMethods)No built-in dependency features
Data-Driven TestingBuilt-in @DataProvider supportParameterized tests via JUnitParams or JUnit 5 @ParameterizedTest
Parallel ExecutionNative support via parallel attribute in XMLParallel execution added in JUnit 5 with @Execution annotations
Test GroupingFlexible grouping using groups attributeTagging in JUnit 5 via @Tag
Exceptions and TimeoutsexpectedExceptions, timeOut attributesassertThrows, @Test(timeout) in JUnit 4
Suite ReportsGenerates detailed HTML and XML reports by defaultBasic reports; enhanced with third-party tools
ExtensibilityListeners (ITestListener), reporters, custom hooksExtensions API in JUnit 5
IDE IntegrationExcellent support in Eclipse and IntelliJNative support across most IDEs
Community and EcosystemWidely used in enterprise, strong Selenium integrationStrong open-source community, evolving ecosystem

Choosing Between Them

Use TestNG when you need advanced configuration, dependency management, and data-driven testing out of the box.

Use JUnit (especially JUnit 5) for simplicity, lighter-weight tests, and when adhering to a more standardized industry framework is desired.

Both frameworks are under active development and can be extended with plugins and libraries to bridge feature gaps.
