Running Multiple Test Suites Using TestNG

Question

Is it possible to create and run multiple test suites with TestNG? I am wanting to associate a suite with a build. That way I can have the same basic structure for each suite, but the build number and tests change. Here's one suite I have now...

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

<suite name="Build#" parallel="tests" thread-count="5"> 
   <test name="Firefox Tests" preserve-order="true">
    <parameter name="Browser" value="Firefox"/>
    <classes>
       <class name="testsuites.WelcomePageTests"/> 
       <class name="testsuites.AgencySelectPageTests"/>
    </classes>
  </test>
  <test name="Chrome Tests" preserve-order="true">
    <parameter name="Browser" value="Chrome"/>
    <classes>
       <class name="testsuites.WelcomePageTests"/> 
       <class name="testsuites.AgencySelectPageTests"/>
    </classes>
  </test>
  <test name="IE Tests" preserve-order="true">
    <parameter name="Browser" value="IE"/>
    <classes>
       <class name="testsuites.WelcomePageTests"/> 
       <class name="testsuites.AgencySelectPageTests"/>
    </classes>
  </test>
  <test name="Opera Tests" preserve-order="true">
    <parameter name="Browser" value="Opera"/>
    <classes>
       <class name="testsuites.WelcomePageTests"/> 
       <class name="testsuites.AgencySelectPageTests"/>
    </classes>
  </test>
</suite>

Sure, you can create as many testng.xml as you want.

You can also create them in memory with the programmatic API, which might be more convenient if the content of your suites tends to change.
