Execution Sequence of TestNG Annotations:
- Understand the sequence in which all annotations will be executed.
- TestNG annotations executed in a predefined order.
TestNG Annotations:
@Test: To mark a method as a test method.
@BeforeMethod: performed before each test (@Test) method.
@AfterMethod: executed after each test method.
@BeforeClass: Performed before the first examination method in the current class.
@AfterClass: Executed after all test methods in the current class.
@BeforeTest: performed in this suite before any test methods of classes available inside <test> tag in testng.xml.
@AfterTest: Execute this room in testng.xml after all test methods available in the class <test> inside the tag.
@BeforeSuite: Performed before all tests in this suite.
@AfterSuite: Executed after all tests executed in this current suite.
@BeforeGroup: In the specified group, the first test method is executed before.
@AfterGroup: Executed after the end of all test methods executed in that specific group.
- There are more annotations in TestNG @BeforeGroup, @AfterGroup, @Listeners, @Parameters, @DataProvider, @Factory.
Execution Sequence of TestNG Annotations:
- BeforeSuite
- BeforeTest
- BeforeClass
- BeforeMethod
- Test
- AfterMethod
- AfterClass
- AfterTest
- AfterSuite
