Post#121.Class level annotations in TestNG

Class level annotations in TestNG

TestNG has the feature to define annotations on a class instead of each test method.

Let’s say there are 20 test methods, where adding @Test on a class level is simpler than adding @Test for each method.

When we make class level @Test annotation, all the public methods of this class will become test methods even if they are not annotated.

We can still define @Test annotation on of the method if we want to add any attributes to particular test method.

Example: @Test annotation at class level:

package Annotations;

import org.testng.annotations.Test;

@Test

public class ClassLevelAnnotations {

         

          public void Register() {

                   System.out.println("===Register TestCase Executed===");

          }

    public void Login() {

                   System.out.println("===Login TestCase Executed===");

                   int x = 10/0;

          }

          @Test(dependsOnMethods={"Login"})

          public void LogOut() {

                   System.out.println("===LogOut TestCase Executed===");

          }

}

In the above example we have added @Test annotation only to the last method with attribute 'dependsOnMethods'. 

Output:

[TestNG] Running:

===Login TestCase Executed===

===Register TestCase Executed===

[Utils] Attempting to create D:\WorkSpace\DemoTestNG\test-output\Default suite\Default test.xml

[Utils]   Directory D:\WorkSpace\DemoTestNG\test-output\Default suite exists: true

PASSED: Register

FAILED: Login

java.lang.ArithmeticException: / by zero

LogOut() is skipped as it depends on Login() which is failed due to ArithmeticException.
