How to Enable and Disable @Test in TestNG

TestNG provides an attribute for enabling and disable our @Test. There are many times when you don’t want to run particular @Test and it’s not a better way to remove the whole Test method from the class and then add again if you want to run the @Test again.

By default all the TestNG @Test methods are Enabled

How to Enable and Disable @Test:

To enable and disable @test, There is an attribute enabled which accepts Boolean type value as True or False.

package com.tutorial.testng;

import org.testng.Assert;
import org.testng.annotations.Test;

public class EnabledTestMethod {
    // By Default test as True
    @Test
    public void byDefaultTrue() {
        System.out.println("Running: default as true");
    }

    // Enabled Test
    @Test(enabled = true)
    public void enabledTest() {
        System.out.println("Running: enabled = true");
    }

    // Disabled Test
    @Test(enabled = false)
    public void disabledTest() {
        System.out.println("Running: enabled = false");
    }
}

When You Run the Class:

When You run the above Class and you can see only Two @test case ran and the 3rd @test method public void disabledTest() ignored.
