TestNG, invented by Google's Cèdric Beust, is a JUnit-inspired automated testing Java framework which aims to solve the limitations of JUnit. I'll explain the differences in best practices for automated testing of a larger (integration) vs. a smaller (unit) amount of code (whether you use TestNG or JUnit). I'll explain how to effectively use TestNG (and JUnit) features to achieve best practices in both of these arenas. If you're interested in whether TestNG lives up to its acronym ("Next Generation"), or if you want to know how to take JUnit to the next level, come hear how you can construct better tests with either of these tools!
