TestNG testing framework — Extent Report

TestNG

Problem with TestNG?

HTML Reporting, default report generated by testng post execution shows bare minimum details with static pages and without any presentation elements. In case you have to show a report to the audience from a non-technical background, they will be first confused about what is this and from where to start.

It is easier for everyone to make data out of charts and diagrams because professionals other than testers are looking for a summary report rather than detailed testing reporting which has multiple sections like the one shown below.
