Answer 2

Set testng's scope to "provided" if you're building a web app and don't want it included in WEB-INF/lib.

Answer 3

Even I had faced this issue and got a solution for the same.

In your pom.xml file remove the scope and this should work fine.

As per below code in pom.xml, remove the scope tag.

Even though we have imported the maven dependency for Testng, when you add scope tag in XML file, it treats as JUnit annotation and not as Testng. So when I removed scope tag, My @Test Annotation was treated as Testng Annotation.

<dependency>
            <groupId>org.testng</groupId>
            <artifactId>testng</artifactId>
            <version>6.8.7</version>
            **<scope>test</scope>** //Remove this line and compile maven
</dependency>
