I was updating the TestNG home page to include the information about the recent availability of version 5.12 in the Maven repository (check it out!) when I noticed that I created this page exactly six years and one day ago.
Wow… Six years.
I believe it took me a few months to implement v1.0, so TestNG is actually a bit older than that.
If you had asked me then if I thought I would still be working on TestNG six years later, I would have politely nodded while wondering from what mental institution you escaped.
Big thanks to the TestNG community for accompanying me through this fantastic journey, and looking forward to more awesome testing, next generation style.

Congratulations and great work! I’m pretty sure that if there would be a top of the most important contributions to the Java community in the past decade TestNG would most certainly be one of them.

Congratulations! Not many tools in dev remain relevant six years after their original release. Well done.

You should also get kudos for writing a great book (with Hani Suleiman) on TestNG. Besides detailing how to implement unit tests with TestNG, it gives great advice on considerations for designing the tests, writing code for testability, and a lot of excellent, pragmatic advice on the appropriate uses and design of code-testing in general. A lot of unit-testing books are dogmatic and/or naive in their approach, but your book is great for devs doing large-scale Java development. Thanks again!

Thanks for continuing your support on this awesome project! TestNG is clearly the best 🙂
