TestNG Annotations

TestNG support different type of the Annotations. TestNG uses these annotations to execute the Test Cases, Here we are showing the different type of the Annotations.

• @BeforeSuite will run before  the all test method in this suite will run. It run single time only. 
• @AfterSuite will run after all test method will run in this suite. It also run single time only.
• @BeforeTest will be run before any test method belonging to the class inside the <test> tag is run
• @AfterTest will be run after the all test method belonging to the class inside the <test> tag have run
• @BeforeGroup: The list of Group that this configuration method will run before. @BeforeGroup will guarantee to run shortly before the First test method that belong to any of these groups is invoked.
•  @AfterGroup: The list of Group that this configuration method will run after. @AfterGroup will guarantee to run shortly after the First test method that belong to any of these groups is invoked.
• @BeforeClass will be run before the first test method in the current class is invoked.
• @AfterClass will be run after all the test method in the current class has been invoked.
• @BeforeMethod will be run before each test method.
• @AfterMethod will be run after each test method.
• @Test: Mark a class or a method as a part of the test 
• @Parameters: This Annotations describe how to pass the parameters to a @Test Method. 
• @Listeners: Define listeners on a test class. 
• @Factory: Mark a method as Factory that returns object that will be used by TestNG as Test Classes. That method must return Object[].
• @DataProvider: Mark a method as supplying data for a test method. An Annotation method must return object[][] where each object can assigned the parameter list of the test method. The @Test method that want top receive data from this DataProvider needs to use a DataProvider name equals to the name of this annotations.
