TestNG offers multiple ways to selectively execute tests instead of re-running entire suites. You can use the auto-generated testng-failed.xml file to re-run only failed tests, manually create testng.xml with specific test inclusions, execute single methods via Maven Surefire's -Dtest parameter, skip tests dynamically using @BeforeMethod with SkipException, implement IMethodInterceptor for pre-execution filtering, or run individual tests directly from your IDE. Each approach serves different scenarios, from CI pipeline automation to quick local debugging.
