As we've already discussed the advantage of @BeforeClass over the @BeforeMethod TestNG Annotation and also the advantage of @AfterClass over the @AfterMethod TestNG annotation in our previous post. Lets implement the @BeforeClass and @AfterClass TestNG annotations.
As part of Refactoring the Selenium Automation Code we've to use @BeforeClass and @AfterClass TestNG annotations instead of @BeforeMethod and @AfterMethod TestNG annotation.
Lets Implement This: (i.e. Implementing @BeforeClass and @AfterClass TestNG annotations)
1. Lets view the code containing the @BeforeMethod and @AfterMethod TestNG annotations as shown below:
2. Replace the @BeforeMethod TestNG annotation with @BeforeClass TestNG annotation as shown below:
3. Replace the @AfterMethod TestNG annotation with @AfterClass TestNG annotation as shown below:
4. Start the Selenium Standalone Server
5. Save and Run the 'Class66.java' file by selecting the 'TestNG' option as shown below:
6. In this case, Observe that the Firefox Browser has launched only once for performing the above three tests as shown in the below video.
