Annotations in TestNG
In the previous post, we have seen how to uninstall TestNG from Eclipse.In this post, we will learn different types of annotations in TestNG.
Annotations in TestNG:
Annotations are placed over the method with the symbol @. We can control the sequence and priority of the methods which allows to execute java code before and after a certain point.
Following is the table containing the annotations in TestNG.
| Annotations | Descriptions |
| @BeforeSuite | The annotated method will be run before all tests in this suite have run. |
| @AfterSuite | The annotated method will be run after all tests in this suite have run. |
| @BeforeTest | The annotated method will be run before any test method belonging to the classes inside the tag is run. |
| @AfterTest | The annotated method will be run after all the test methods belonging to the classes inside the tag have run. |
| @BeforeClass | The annotated method will be run before the first test method in the current class is invoked. |
| @AfterClass | The annotated method will be run after all the test methods in the current class have been run. |
| @BeforeGroups | The list of groups that this configuration method will run before. This method is guaranteed to run shortly before the first test method that belongs to any of these groups is invoked. |
| @AfterGroups | The list of groups that this configuration method will run after. This method is guaranteed to run shortly after the last test method that belongs to any of these groups is invoked. |
| @BeforeMethod | The annotated method will be run before each test method. |
| @AfterMethod | The annotated method will be run after each test method. |
| @Test | Marks a method as part of the test case. |
| @DataProvider | Supplies the data to a test methods. It return Object[][] where each Object[] can be assigned the parameter list of the test method.The @Test method that wants to receive data from this DataProvider needs to use a dataProvider name equals to the name of this annotation. |
| @Listeners | Defines listeners on a test class. |
| @Parameters | Used to pass Parameters to a test method. |
