    Default execution order of @Test methods <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Ensure that you have TestNG installed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    If TestNG is not installed, than perform following steps: Help > Eclipse Marketplace\u2026 <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \"\"\/<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

    Enter Testng in search field as shown below<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \"\"\/<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

    Complete remaining steps to complete TestNG installation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Ensure testng dependency in pom.xml file<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \"\"\/<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

    Create a new class and add 5 @Test methods as shown below<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \"\"\/<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

    Execute the Test<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \"\"\/<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

    Notice the below output<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \"\"\/<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

    The @Test methods get executed in alphabetical order (random manner). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    So, by default, all the @Tests methods inside a class will be executed in alphabetical order.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Priority attribute usage<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    We can specify our own order of execution as well. This can be done using ‘priority’ attribute in TestNG.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    So let us assign priority to all the @Test methods as shown below<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \"\"\/<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

    Execute. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The @Test methods execution happens in order<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \"\"\/<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

    Priority = 0<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    If we set priority=0 for a @Test method, the method will execute before the method having priority=1 (since 0 comes before 1).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Let us set priority=0<\/em> for testTwo() as shown below<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \"\"\/<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

    Execute the test. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Notice below that \u201ctestTwo method\u201d is printed before \u201ctestOne method\u201d since former has priority=0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \"\"\/<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

    Priority = -1 (negative priority)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    When we set priority=-1 for any @Test method, that method will be executed before the method that has priority=0 (since -1 comes before 0).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Let us set priority=-1<\/em> for testThree() as shown below<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \"\"\/<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

    Execute.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Notice below that \u201ctestThree method\u201d is printed before \u201ctestTwo method\u201d since former has priority=-1<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \"\"\/<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

    Same priority to all test methods<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Let us give same priority to all the @Test methods<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \"\"\/<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

    Setting same priority to all the @Test methods is same as not setting any priority to and @Test.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    So when we execute, the result will be same like we saw for default execution order of @Test methods, see below<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \"\"\/<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

    So this is how priority attribute can be used in TestNG.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
