Never used maven "testng" plugin to run the test case, maybe you mean the dependency is testng?
Surefire plugin could support different test engine, testng/junit3/junit4.

Some of our tests are failing and in the testng-results.xml file it is reported as fail. The issue is "maven" is reporting the failed tests as "skipped" and the final build status is SUCCESS. Has anyone faced this issue ? if so what is the soln. I tried with "surefire-testng" plugin instead of "testng" plugin. With this change, maven is properly reporting the failed tests and the final build is reported as FAIL What is the difference between testng and surefire-testng plugin , I don't see any mention in the surefire plugin page, so I am not sure if it is correct to use this plugin. Any help is appreciated Thanks, Subbu
