How to set test cases priority (Java test cases integrated in TestNG framework)

[vikas shitole]

Hi All,

    We have 100+ test cases written in java on testNG framework. No test cases have priority set (P0/P1/P2) at the moment. My query is how to set these priorities across all test cases unsing TestNG feature? 

What is that feature which would help to complete this task? 

Regards

Maybe you could use groups? See chapter 5.2 http://testng.org/doc/documentation-main.html#test-groups

Hi Alex,

 Thanks a lot for your input. I have some followup questions 

1. By using groups feature. : 

  My tests are designed as follows:

>>>Every test have i)test setup method  ii)actual test method iii)cleanup method

>>>I need to use annotation (@Test) for each method. am I right?

>>>If say, this test class extends one base class. do we need to add @Test annotation with groups even for super class method as well? 

2. we use ANT tool to execute our testNG suite (all tests) through command line. can we send groups value( in our case priority) dynamically as one parameter. so that it would automatically execute specified priority test cases from test suite? we do not want to create separate test suites for each priority level.

Thanks in advance.

you need @Test only for actual test method, super class method does not need @Test.

@Test signifies the test you intend to run don't use it for helper methods.
