Trigger Specific TestNG.xml through Jenkins for Maven Project

When we are testing our project.
It usually consists of multiple TestNG.xml files

To Run a specific Xml File

We have to add specific parameters in Pom.xml

Following is example of entry we make in Pom.xml


              <plugin>
                <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
                <artifactId>maven-surefire-plugin</artifactId>
                <version>2.18.1</version>
                <configuration>
                    <!-- Suite testng xml file to consider for test execution -->
                    <suiteXmlFiles>  
                         <suiteXMLFile>${suitexml}</suiteXMLFile>
                    </suiteXmlFiles>
                </configuration>
            </plugin>


Here suitexml is a parameter

For whole Pom.xml refer following

Make a bat file where we will specify the value of suitexml that will point to the specific TestNG.xml file
Following is a bat file

cd E:
cd E:\MortalGlobe

mvn test -Dsuitexml=E:\MortalGlobe\src\test\java\com\gurpreet\pages\firsttestng.xml

Place this bat file in Jenkins Job Folder in your machine





Entry of Bat file  in Jenkins Job
