how can I run testng-failed.xml via Jenkins or any other means automatically if some of my test case failed

Hi Guys, 

Please help me in re-running the testNg-failed.xml automatically via Jenkins or any other mean if test cases are getting failed.

There are multiple ways in which you can re-run failed tests.

1. Use a retry analyzer and implement the retry running of tests using this.

2. In CI systems such as Jenkins, you have the option of adding a post build step wherein you can write up a simple shell script which basically checks if there is a testng-failed.xml file available in the test output path and if it is available then kick off the build [ by running either the ant task or the maven task ] by providing the suite file to be executed as testng-failed.xml

Note:

Approach 2 is going to be messing up your test results (if you are dependent on the default reports that TestNG provides) because it would get overwritten. So you may have to put in additional checks in those areas as well.

Thanks & Regards
