I am happy to announce the availability of TestNG 2.1.  Some of the new features include:

• invocationCount and successPercentage, which I described in a previous entry, and which allow you to invoke a test method a certain number of times while allowing some of these invocations to fail.  If the number of failures is under a certain threshold, the test is still considered a success.
   
• timeOut is now applicable to all test methods.  Whether you are running your tests in parallel or not, you can specify a time-out for your test method and if it fails to complete within the given amount of time, TestNG will mark it as a failure.
   
• dependsOnMethods was the most requested feature.  You can now specify dependencies on a method-based basis (no need to specify a group if your dependency graph is simple).  You can even mix dependsOnMethodsand dependsOnGroups.
   
• … and of course, numerous bug fixes and other additions.

A special thanks to Alexandru Popescu who has pulled all-nighters to make this release happen!

We have an exciting list of new features lined up for our next version, among which a plug-in API, but in the meantime, enjoy TestNG 2.1,
