Lets create java class

package testngexp;
import org.testng.annotations.Test;

@Test
publicclass classlevelexamples {
publicvoid TestLoginMethod(){
System.out.println("this is Login Method");
}

@Test(groups="A")
publicvoid TestLogoutMethod(){
System.out.println("this is Logout Method");
}
}

TestNG.xml

<?xmlversion="1.0"encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPEsuiteSYSTEM"http://testng.org/testng-1.0.dtd">
<suitename="Suite"verbose="1">
<testname="Test1">
<groups>
<run>
<excludename="A"/>
</run>
</groups>
<classes>
<classname="testngexp.classlevelexamples"/>
</classes>
</test><!-- Test -->
</suite><!-- Suite -->
