Test Annotations | BeforeSuite | AfterSuite

BeforeSuite

• @BeforeSuite: This annotation marks a method that will run before any test in the entire suite. It’s typically used for tasks like initializing resources that need to be available across multiple test classes (e.g., starting a server, loading configuration files, etc.).

AfterSuite

• @AfterSuite: This annotation marks a method that will run after all the tests in the suite have finished. It's useful for cleaning up resources used throughout the entire suite, like shutting down a server or database connection.

Steps to test Before suite and After Suite

First create a new package and new Class

• for example : package name is common and class name is commonDataSetUp and write the code in that class as given below

 package common;

 import org.testng.annotations.AfterSuite;
 import org.testng.annotations.BeforeSuite;
 
 public class commonDataSetUp {
 
     @BeforeSuite
     public static void dataSetup() {
         System.out.println("Common Data SetUp");
     }
 
     @AfterSuite
     public static void dataTearDown() {
         System.out.println("Common data CleanUp");
     }
 
                    }
                

Create a new class in a previous package and write below code

package asc;


 import org.testng.annotations.Test;
                    
import common.commonDataSetUp;
                    
                    
                    
public class groupTest2 extends commonDataSetUp {
                    
@Test(priority = 1,groups="regression")
public void Test1()
                    
{
System.out.println("Test 1");
                    
}
                    
@Test(priority = 2,groups="regression")
public void Test2() {
                    
System.out.println("Test 2");
                    
}
                    
                        
@Test(groups={"regression","bvt"})
public void Test3() {
                    
System.out.println("Test 3");
                    
}
                        
                    
@Test(groups="bvt")
public void Test4() {
                    
System.out.println("Test 4");
                    
}
                    
}
                    

And then Create a New test Suite Name testng1 and change the code in that xml file as given below

< ?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
< !DOCTYPE suite SYSTEM "https://testng.org/testng-1.0.dtd">
< suite name="Suite Setup and teardown">
  < test name="Test Before Suite After Suite">
    < classes>
      < class name="asc.groupTest2"/>
    < /classes>
  < /test> 
< /suite> 

                    

And then Run this code
