Adding TestNG to the Project

We can add the TestNG dependency to the Maven project. Configuring TestNG in the project is a one-time step.

Add @Test annotation, click on the red bulb icon, and click the drop-down.

Choose Add Maven dependency…

<dependencies>
 <dependency>
 <groupId>org.testng</groupId>
 <artifactId>testng</artifactId>
 <version>7.1.0</version>
 <scope>test</scope>
 </dependency>
</dependencies>

Maven would automatically download the latest TestNG jar artifact to the local repository ( .m2 directory).
