PAGE-8: TestNG TEST CASE PRIORITY

PRIORITY IN TestNG : In TestNG "Priority" is used to schedule the test cases. When there are multiple test cases, we want to execute test cases in order. Like First we need to execute a test case "Registration" before login.

In order to achive, we use need to add annotation as @Test(priority=??). The default value will be zero for priority.

If you don't mention the priority, it will take all the test cases as "priority=0" and execute.

If we define priority as "priority=", these test cases will get executed only when all the test cases which don't have any priority as the default priority will be set to "priority=0"

The below screen shot shows a test cases which are not defined with any priority.

The below examples shows using the priority for test cases.

As we have not defined the priority for testcase "Registration", it will get executed first and then the other testcases based on priority.

import org.testng.annotations.Test;

public class testNGPriorityExample {

               @Test

               public void registerAccount()

               {

                               System.out.println("First register your account");

               }

               @Test(priority=2)

               public void sendEmail()

               {

                               System.out.println("Send email after login");

               }

               @Test(priority=1)

               public void login()

               {

                               System.out.println("Login to the account after registration");

               }

}

The below images shows the executed result of the above program.

'Registration' test case will get executed first as we normally do that before login to any of the application.
