Including or excluding of selenium rc test cases using xml in TestNG can be done using the keywords include or exlude

For including a test case we need to use <include name="method name"/> under the class whichever the method you want to include

For excluding a test case we need to use <exclude name="method name"/> under the class whichever the method you want to include

For example if you have a class MercTestNgSuite in package com.src.testng want to include the methods like:

1. testLogin1

2. testFindFlights

3. testSelectFlights

4. testFillUserDetails

5. testVerifyFlightConf

and exclude

6. testLogout

the xml can be written as mentioned below.

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

<suite thread-count="5" skipfailedinvocationCounts="false" verbose="1" name="MercPrj" junit="false" parallel="false" annotations="JDK">

<test verbose="2" name="com.src.testng.MercTestNgSuite" junit="false" annotations="JDK">

<classes>

<class name="com.src.testng.MercTestNgSuite"/>

<methods>

<include name="testLogin1"/>

<include name="testFindFlights"/>

<include name="testSelectFlights"/>

<include name="testFillUserDetails"/>

<include name="testVerifyFlightConf"/>

<exclude name="testLogout"/>
