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.
