Answer 1

Because your beans are loaded by the "component-scan", you must annotate your components with @Component :

@Component
public class Person {
....
}

and

@Component
public class App {
....
}

UPDATE:

The test class AppTest.java must be annotated with @ContextConfiguration :

@ContextConfiguration(locations = { "classpath:applicationContext.xml" })

make sure TestNG can see and load the file applicationContext.xml by correcting its path.

UPDATE 2:

To get works, you might need to add dependency to spring-test in your pom.xml:

<!-- https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/org.springframework/spring-test -->
<dependency>
    <groupId>org.springframework</groupId>
    <artifactId>spring-test</artifactId>
    <version>4.3.4.RELEASE</version>
    <scope>test</scope>
</dependency>

UPDATE 3:

Add this to AppTest.java :

@org.junit.runner.RunWith(org.springframework.test.context.junit4.SpringJUnit4ClassRunner.class)

This instruct junit to execute test as a Spring test.

Note that SpringJUnit4ClassRunner only works with junit 4.5+, so update your dependency of junit to latest:

    <dependency>
        <groupId>junit</groupId>
        <artifactId>junit</artifactId>
        <version>4.12</version>
        <scope>test</scope>
    </dependency>

COMPLETE

Here is complete working AppTest.java . Note that some testng annotations have been replaced by junit for compatibility with Spring test framework.

package com.syz.test01;


import org.springframework.beans.factory.annotation.Autowired;
import org.springframework.test.context.ContextConfiguration;
import org.springframework.test.context.junit4.SpringJUnit4ClassRunner;

@org.junit.runner.RunWith(SpringJUnit4ClassRunner.class)
@ContextConfiguration(locations = { "classpath*:applicationContext.xml" })
public class AppTest{
    @Autowired
    public App app;

    public App getApp() {
        return app;
    }
    public void setApp(App app) {
        this.app = app;
    }
    @org.junit.Test
    public void testIOC() {
        System.out.println(app);
        System.out.println(app.getPerson().getName());
    }
}

Answer 2

You aren't giving any values to your Person class in your app class. So that means in AppTester, when it calls app.getPerson it is sending a null value.
