Custom-Filter TestListener to filter Testng Test execution based on maven command line parameter value

Usage :

Add the listener filter to main testng.xml

<listeners>

     <listener class-name="com.github.sridhar.CustomTestFilter"/>

 </listeners>

Add the dependency to pom.xml of the individual test-module to consider filtering of tests

<dependencies>

       <dependency>

           <groupId>com.github.sridhar-001</groupId>

            <artifactId>CustomTestFilter</artifactId>

           <version>1.0.0</version>

       </dependency>

 </dependencies>

Points to note:

1. Easy to use. No need to add listener in each and every suite xml file except for the parent testng.xml which is called by module pom.xml
   

2. Module independent.
   

3. Maven parameter to exclude/include single/multiple suitexml/class/method each of which can be comma separated
   Eg: mvn clean install -DexcludeSuiteXML=tempxml,temp1.xml,temp2.xml
   If the parameter value does not match any value then no tests will be executed
   

4. Backward compatible. If there is no filter criteria specified then all the tests will be executed
