Are you able to debug to tell what value the variables on line 32 have? — spacepickle

The root cause is because driver is not initialized properly.

I think you are incorrectly import beforeClass annotation from Junit instead of testNG, and thus causing setUp method not called and resulting driver not initialized

please change import into import org.testng.annotations.BeforeClass;

The IE browser is not able to launch due to the annotation being wrong wherein you have used the JUNIT annotation instead of TestNg.
