+1, Just gone though the TestNG feature list. OOB support for, parallel
tests and rerunning failed test features are more promising. Selenium
framework also supports TestNG.

Junit 4.8 has introduced test grouping by using test categories [1]. But
this feature is undocumented and seems lot of work. Even I cannot find much
references on web.

You can find the feature matrix of Surefire plugin at [2] which has
extended support for TestNG [3].

Thanks,
Krishantha.
