How to specify a test with method name, class name and parameters in testng.xml?

Question

I wish to have test level parameters in my testng.xml and below is the code present in my testng.xml file:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE suite SYSTEM "http://testng.org/testng-1.0.dtd">
<suite name="My Test Suite" verbose="1">
   <parameter name="param1" value="value1" />
   <parameter name="param2" value="value2" />
   <listeners>
      <listener class-name="TestListener" />
   </listeners>
   <test name="Test1">
      <parameter name="param" value="value" />
      <classes>
         <class name="ClassContainingTest1" />
         <methods>
            <include name="test1" />
         </methods>
      </classes>
   </test>
   <test name="Test2">
      <parameter name="param" value="value" />
      <classes>
         <class name="ClassContainingTest2" />
         <methods>
            <include name="test2" />
         </methods>
      </classes>
   </test>
</suite>

But the XML editor highlights the classes tag in red. It seems something is wrong with my XML structure, but I'm unable to figure out the same.

Please help.

The issue was with the methods tag not being inside the class tag.

Revising the XML code to below fixed the issue:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE suite SYSTEM "http://testng.org/testng-1.0.dtd">
<suite name="My Test Suite" verbose="1">
   <parameter name="param1" value="value1" />
   <parameter name="param2" value="value2" />
   <listeners>
      <listener class-name="TestListener" />
   </listeners>
   <test name="Test1">
      <parameter name="param" value="value" />
      <classes>
         <class name="ClassContainingTest1">
            <methods>
               <include name="test1" />
            </methods>
         </class>
      </classes>
   </test>
   <test name="Test2">
      <parameter name="param" value="value" />
      <classes>
         <class name="ClassContainingTest2">
            <methods>
               <include name="test2" />
            </methods>
         </class>
      </classes>
   </test>
</suite>
