Hello Junior,

To prevent a test case from running using TestNG, you can disable its execution by setting the ā€œenabledā€ attribute to false. This can be applied both at the individual test method level and for test methods belonging to specific groups. Hereā€™s an enhanced answer with additional details:

// Disable execution for a specific test method
@Test(enabled = false)
public void testMethod1() {
  // Test logic that should not be executed
}

// Disable execution for a test method belonging to a specific group
@Test(groups = {"NegativeTests"}, enabled = false)
public void testMethod2() {
  // Test logic that should not be executed as part of the 'NegativeTests' group
}

By utilizing the ā€œenabledā€ attribute with a value of false, you effectively prevent the associated test method from being executed during test suite runs. This can be particularly useful when you want to exclude certain tests temporarily or when specific conditions are not met. Additionally, the ability to disable tests based on groups allows for a more organized and fine-grained control over test case execution.
