Tibor Digana commented on SUREFIRE-845:
---------------------------------------

We dont want to introduce a new parameter but this feature might be a subject to Surefire 3.0 Extension API. Pls provide a proposal of the API.

> TestNG provides the capability on its command line to specify the name of tests to run when using a testng.xml suite file. This is very useful for selectively running tests while still using a testng.xml suite file. It would be a very useful feature to be able to specify the names of tests to run within the surefire plugin configuration. Something like:
> {noformat}
> <configuration>
>     <suiteXmlFiles>
>         <suiteXmlFile>src/test/resources/testng.xml</suiteXmlFile>
>     </suiteXmlFiles>
>     <testnames>regularTests,longTests</testnames>
> </configuration>
> {noformat}
> Which would correspond to the testng.xml file:
> {noformat}
> <!DOCTYPE suite SYSTEM "http://testng.org/testng-1.0.dtd" >
> <suite name="TestSuite" verbose="2">
> parameter name="saveBytes" value="false"/>
>     <test name="regularTests">
>         <groups>
>             <run>
>                 <exclude name="foo"/>
>             </run>
>         </groups>
>         <packages>
>             <package name="com.mycompany.joe.*"/>
>         </packages>
>     </test>
>     <test name="longTests">
>         <packages>
>             <package name="com.mycompany.joe.*"/>
>         </packages>
>     </test>
> </suite>
> {noformat}
