In this tutorial, we will show you how to perform timeout
test in TestNG. The “timeout” means if a unit test is taking longer than a specified number of milliseconds to finish, TestNG will abort it and market it as failed.
This “timeout” can also use for performance test, to ensure the method is returned within a reasonable time.
TestTimeout.java
package com.mkyong.testng.examples.timeout;
import org.testng.annotations.Test;
public class TestTimeout {
@Test(timeOut = 5000) // time in mulliseconds
public void testThisShouldPass() throws InterruptedException {
Thread.sleep(4000);
}
@Test(timeOut = 1000)
public void testThisShouldFail() {
while (true);
}
}
Output
[TestNG] Running:
PASSED: testThisShouldPass
FAILED: testThisShouldFail
org.testng.internal.thread.ThreadTimeoutException: Method org.testng.internal.TestNGMethod.testThisShouldFail() didn't finish within the time-out 1000
