TestNG - Verbose Attribute [Selenium Users]

Verbose Attribute lets you obtain clear reports through IDE console. This attribute will be placed inside the <Suite> tag of testng.xml as shown below:

<suite name="Suite" parallel="tests" verbose="2">

There are 10 levels of Verbose, starting from 1 to 10.
verbose="1"  —  verbose="10"

Verbose="10" gives more test details on console output whereas verbose="1" display less details.
Let me explain with an example:



Verbose "1"

1| Open testng.xml make sure verbose="1"


<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE suite SYSTEM "http://testng.org/testng-1.0.dtd">
<suite name="Suite" parallel="tests" verbose="1">
    <test name="Test1">
        <classes>      
            <class name="bundle.Verb"/>
            <class name="bundle.Noun"/>
       </classes>
    </test>
    <test name="Test2">
        <classes>
            <class name="bundle.Adjective"/>      
        </classes>
    </test>

</suite> <!-- Suite -->

2| The IDE console looks like

Verbose "2"

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE suite SYSTEM "http://testng.org/testng-1.0.dtd">

    <test name="Test1">
        <classes>

</suite> <!-- Suite -->
