How to install a TestNG plugin in new version of Eclipse

TestNG otherwise known as Test Next Generation is one of the most commonly used automation testing frameworks in Java. The TestNG Eclipse plug-in gives you an automation tester the ability to run your TestNG tests from Eclipse and easily monitor their execution and output.


In this article, I will explain the step by step approach on how to Install a Text Next Generation (TestNG) Eclipse.


If you are struggling with installing TestNG for the Eclipse plugin, chances are you have tried the two popular ways:


1) Through Eclipse Marketplace

2) Through Install New Software


It is frustrating - right? cos the two popular ways work on older versions smoothly. Then why isn't it working on the later versions? We really need a sure shot solution that works all the time. And yes, there is one.


Downloading the Jar files and dumping them in the Eclipse /dropins folder.


Step 1: Click on the below link to download TestNG v7.4.0



Step 2: Unzip the downloaded file and explore the contents
