    // ******************** ABC  **********************//
    @Test(description = "ABC (复式)" , enabled = true)
      public void WBG_FuShi() throws Exception {
          try{
              driver = new FirefoxDriver();
              SignIn_ActionBuilder.Execute(driver);
              ProductListing_Page.select_Title(driver, 1).click();  
              ProductListing_Page.select_Title2(driver, 3).click();

              System.out.println("@ABC PASSES");
          }catch (Exception e){

              Log.error(e.getMessage());
              throw (e);
          }

      }

Answer 1

In your testNG.xml file you have to specify the fully qualified name not the path to your class. This below specified change should do the trick.

<classes>
   <class name="testCases.Automation_Sobet_WBG_YiWanCai"/>
</classes>

Also, I suggest you place the testng.xml file under the path src/test/resources/testng.xml and update it in the POM file as below.

<plugin>
    <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
    <artifactId>maven-surefire-plugin</artifactId>
    <version>2.19</version>
    <configuration>
    <!-- Suite testng xml file to consider for test execution -->
        <suiteXmlFiles>
            <suiteXmlFile>src/test/resources/testng.xml</suiteXmlFile>
        </suiteXmlFiles>
    </configuration>
</plugin>

If you are not using JUnit you can remove it from the POM file.
