Apache Maven is project management software that can extensively manage a project’s development, project build, documentation, reporting, and testing just through the information gathered from the chief project details. It is very easy to build and manage any Java-based projects through Maven.

In this blog, you will learn to create the Selenium Maven project with the help of TestNG with Eclipse through a few quick instructions through images. This process will hardly require 5 or a maximum of 10 minutes of time.

You may be already using TestNG and Webdriver with Eclipse. However, if you aren’t, then firstly, check if you have installed a TestNG plugin in Eclipse. For this, you must go to Window >> Preferences then look for TestNG. If your Eclipse has TestNG and Webdriver, it will be displayed in the windowpane.
