Road to override TestNg listener methods

In this post I will show you how to create custom testng listener  class and override its methods.
Create java class like I created below “MyListner” and inherit “TestListenerAdapter” testing class.

package com.test;

import org.testng.ITestResult;

import org.testng.TestListenerAdapter;

public class MyListner extends TestListenerAdapter {

       

     @Override

     public void onTestFailure(ITestResult result) {

        System.out.println(result.getName() + " Test method failed\n");

     }

     @Override

     public void onTestSkipped(ITestResult result) {

        System.out.println(result.getName() + " Test method skipped\n");

     }

     @Override

     public void onTestSuccess(ITestResult result) {

        System.out.println(result.getName() + " Test method success\n");

     } 

}
