annotations in testng
TESTNG: TestNextGeneration --> some of the annotation from TestNG are @Test --> is used to create test method. Normally we need a main method to run a class/method, but with this annotation we can run a class, without a main method. @BeforeClass: Runs one time before everything in this class. Only runs once, does not matter how many test methods we have. We can; prepare test data / set path / open browser / create connections / initialize some classes / open test url / login @BeforeMethod: Always run before each test method. It does not matter if the test passes or fails. We can; prepare test data / open browser / create connections / initialize some classes / open test url / login @AfterMethod --> Methods with this annotation always run after each test method. It does not matter if the test passes or fails. For example, we can use this annotation to close browser / log out / delete test data / report / close connections @AfterClass Runs one time after everything in this class. Only runs once, does not matter how many test methods we have. @Priority What are the annotations available in TestNG and what is their purpose? If we wat the methods to be executed in a different order we use “Priority” annotations. The default it is = 0. If @Test does not have a priority, it means first. Tests that have priority will run based on the priority number. If no priority, tests will run based on alphabetical order.
