What is the order of execution of annotations in TestNG?
Hey Macy,
In TestNG, the order of execution of annotations follows a well-defined sequence to ensure a systematic and controlled testing environment. The sequence is as follows:
- @BeforeSuite: Setup before the test suite.
- @BeforeTest: Setup before each test.
- @BeforeClass: Setup before the class.
- @BeforeMethod: Setup before each test method.
- @Test: The actual test method.
- @AfterMethod: Cleanup after each test method.
- @AfterClass: Cleanup after the class.
- @AfterTest: Cleanup after each test.
- @AfterSuite: Final cleanup after the test suite.
Understanding and utilizing these annotations in the correct order helps in maintaining a structured and organized testing process in TestNG. To learn more about various TestNG annotations and how to use TestNG for automation follow this guide below.
Hi,
Execution Sequence in TestNG:
- @BeforeSuite: This method is executed before the test suite starts.
- @BeforeTest: This method is executed before the test cases within the tag are run.
- @BeforeClass: This method is executed before the first test method in the current class is invoked.
- @BeforeMethod: This method is executed before each test method.
- @Test: This annotation marks a method as a test method.
- @AfterMethod: This method is executed after each test method.
- @AfterClass: This method is executed after all the test methods in the current class have been run.
- @AfterTest: This method is executed after all the tag test cases have run.
- @AfterSuite: This method is executed after the test suite has ended.
TestNG Annotations Execution Order
TestNG executes the annotations in the following order: Suite level (@BeforeSuite, @AfterSuite), Test level (@BeforeTest, @AfterTest), Class level (@BeforeClass, @AfterClass), and Method level (@BeforeMethod, @AfterMethod).
