Getting error while running a XML file in TestNG

Question

org.testng.TestNGException: org.xml.sax.SAXParseException; lineNumber: 5; columnNumber: 8; Element type "test" must be followed by either attribute specifications, ">" or "/>".

This is the error I am getting while executing a XML file for testNG.

Here is the code that I used:

<!DOCTYPE suite SYSTEM "http://testng.org/testng-1.0.dtd" >

<suite name = "TestNG">

    <test = "Testing TestNG">
    
        <classes>
        
            <class name = "testNG.AnnotationsDemo"/>
            
        </classes>
        
    </test>

</suite>

Can someone  help?

Hello @Sradha,

The synatx of using test is not correct.

The syntax goes like this

<test>

</test>

or

<test name = "name ">

</test>

Error that you are getting is because you missed the name tag in your test.

Hope this helped.
