TestNG @Test attributes – dependOnMethods

There are situations when we want to run our tests depends on the prior test execution like
if a particular test is run fine, then execute this test or else skip the test execution…
Basically we are creating inter dependencies in test execution.

Examples
Launch browser with URL, verify if title matches, then login
In Gmail, if login successful, then verify if Inbox link present or not
If report generated, then print the report

Let’s see the code implementation

public class Dependonmethods {
      WebDriver driver;
 
      @Test
      public void test1()
 {
      driver = new FirefoxDriver();
      driver.get("http:qavalidation.com");
      Assert.assertTrue(driver.getTitle().contains("Testing"));
 }
      @Test
      public void test2()
 {
      driver.findElement(By.linkText("Selenium Tutorial!")).click();
 }
}

public class Dependonmethods {
   WebDriver driver; 
   @Test
   public void test1()
       {
   driver = new FirefoxDriver();
   driver.get("http:qavalidation.com");
   Assert.assertTrue(driver.getTitle().contains("Testing"));
       }
   @Test(dependsOnMethods = {"test1"})
   public void test2()
       {
   driver.findElement(By.linkText("Selenium Tutorial!")).click();
       }
}

package testngdependon;

import org.testng.annotations.Test;

public class DependonGrps {
	
	@Test(groups ={"ab"})
	public void method1(){
	System.out.println(25/0);}
	
	@Test(dependsOnGroups = { "a.*" })
	public void method2(){
	System.out.println("tc2: testcase1");}
	
	@Test(groups ={"a"})
	public void method3(){
	System.out.println("tc3: testcase1");}
	
	@Test(groups ={"a"})
	public void method4(){
	System.out.println("tc4: testcase1");}
}
