How to run test using testng by only providing partial class name?

Question

Suppose my java file name is SeleniumID1Test.java, so currently my testng xml file is like this

<test name="Selenium Test Name">
    <classes>           
        <class name="selenium.SeleniumID1Test"/>
   </classes>   
</test>

But I want it to do by partial class name, for example like if I provide name=ID1 it runs SeleniumID1Test. Is there any way possible? Please suggest, Thanks.

I think a good solution for your problem can be using group like this:

import org.testng.Assert;
import org.testng.annotations.Test;

public class GroupTestExample {
   String message = ".com";
   MessageUtil messageUtil = new MessageUtil(message);

   @Test(groups = { "functest", "checkintest" })
   public void testPrintMessage() {
      System.out.println("Inside testPrintMessage()");
      message = ".com";
      Assert.assertEquals(message, messageUtil.printMessage());
   }


   @Test(groups = { "checkintest" })
   public void testSalutationMessage() {
      System.out.println("Inside testSalutationMessage()");
      message = "tutorialspoint" + ".com";
      Assert.assertEquals(message, messageUtil.salutationMessage());
   }


   @Test(groups = { "functest" })
   public void testingExitMessage() {
      System.out.println("Inside testExitMessage()");
      message = "www." + "tutorialspoint"+".com";
      Assert.assertEquals(message, messageUtil.exitMessage());
   }  
}

and your xml file would be like this:

<?xml version = "1.0" encoding = "UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE suite SYSTEM "http://testng.org/testng-1.0.dtd" >

<suite name = "Suite1">
   <test name = "test1">

      <groups>
         <run>
            <include name = "functest" />
         </run>
      </groups>

      <classes>
         <class name = "GroupTestExample" />
      </classes>

   </test>
</suite>
