JUnit and NUnit are both inspired by TestNG, but it introduces some new functionalities to make it more powerful and easy to use. For example, you can run your tests in large thread pools with different policies (all methods in their own threads, one thread per class, etc.). It can be used to verify that your code is multithread-safe, it supports data-driven testing (with @DataProvider), supports parameters, and has a powerful execution model (no TestSuite). A variety of tools and plug ins are available to support the - such as Eclipse, IDEA, Maven, and many others. It also embeds BeanShell to provide additional flexibility. There are default JDK functions that allow for runtime and logging (no dependencies) and dependent methods for testing application servers. TestNG covers all types of tests: unit, functional, integration, and more.
