        plugins {
            id 'java'
        }

        test {
            useTestNG() {

    Since:
      8.7

  - ### isUseDefaultListeners

    @Internal public boolean isUseDefaultListeners()
    Whether the default listeners and reporters should be used. Since Gradle 1.4 it defaults to 'false' so that Gradle can own the reports generation and provide various improvements. This option might be useful for advanced TestNG users who prefer the reports generated by the TestNG library. If you cannot live without some specific TestNG reporter please use `listeners` property. If you really want to use all default TestNG reporters (e.g. generate the old reports):

        plugins {
            id 'java'
        }

        test {
            useTestNG() {
                // report generation delegated to TestNG library:
                useDefaultListeners = true
            }

            // turn off Gradle's HTML report to avoid replacing the
            // reports generated by TestNG library:
            reports.html.required = false
        }

    Please refer to the documentation of your version of TestNG what are the default listeners. At the moment of writing this documentation, the default listeners are a set of reporters that generate: TestNG variant of HTML results, TestNG variant of XML results in JUnit format, emailable HTML test report, XML results in TestNG format.

  - ### setUseDefaultListeners

    public void setUseDefaultListeners(boolean useDefaultListeners)

  - ### setThreadPoolFactoryClass

    @Incubating public void setThreadPoolFactoryClass(String threadPoolFactoryClass)
    Sets a custom threadPoolExecutorFactory class. This should be a fully qualified class name and the class should implement org.testng.IExecutorFactory More details in https://github.com/testng-team/testng/pull/2042 Requires TestNG 7.0 or higher
    Since:
      8.7

  - ### getSuiteName

  - ### setSuiteName

    public void setSuiteName(String suiteName)

  - ### getTestName

    @Internal public String getTestName()
    Sets the default name of the test, if one is not specified in a suite XML file or in the source code.

    @Internal public boolean isPreserveOrder()

  - ### setPreserveOrder

    public void setPreserveOrder(boolean preserveOrder)

  - ### getGroupByInstances

    @Internal public boolean getGroupByInstances()

  - ### isGroupByInstances

    @Internal public boolean isGroupByInstances()
    Indicates whether the tests should be grouped by instances. Grouping by instances will result in resolving test method dependencies for each instance instead of running the dependees of all instances before running the dependants. Not required. If not present, the tests will not be grouped by instances.

  - ### setGroupByInstances

    public void setGroupByInstances(boolean groupByInstances)
