Using Groups Functionality in TestNG

The video tutorial explains the use of annotations in TestNG, focusing on 'before class' and 'after class' annotations. It discusses the execution order of test methods, which is based on alphabetical order, and how to exclude tests using TestNG XML. The tutorial also covers a client requirement to run specific test cases using groups, providing a detailed guide on implementing this feature in TestNG.

What is the primary purpose of the 'before class' annotation in TestNG?

• To execute a method after each test method

• To execute a method after all test methods in a class

• To execute a method before any test methods in a class

• To execute a method before each test method

What is the role of the 'after class' annotation in TestNG?

• To execute a method before each test method

• To execute a method after all test methods in a class

• To execute a method before any test methods in a class

• To execute a method after each test method

In TestNG, what determines the order of test method execution?

• Alphabetical order of method names

• The order in which methods are written

• The order specified in the XML file

• The order of method annotations

What might cause a TestNG test to execute out of the expected order?

• Test dependencies not resolved

• Incorrect method annotations

• Alphabetical order of method names

• Incorrect XML configuration

Why might an API login test not appear in the TestNG output?

• It was not included in the test suite

• It failed during execution

• It was excluded using a tag in the XML file

• It was executed but not logged

How can you ensure that only tests with a specific tag are executed in TestNG?

• By using a specific annotation

• By configuring the test suite in the XML file

• By using the 'include' tag in the XML file

• By using the 'exclude' tag in the XML file

What is the purpose of using groups in TestNG?

• To execute tests in parallel

• To categorize and selectively execute tests

• To execute tests in a specific order

• To exclude tests from execution

How can you execute only specific test cases from different classes in TestNG?

• By tagging them with a group and specifying the group in the XML file

• By using a different annotation for each test

• By using a single XML file for all tests

• By writing a separate test method for each case

What is a common interview question related to TestNG groups?

• How to execute tests in parallel

• How to configure TestNG in a Maven project

• How to handle test dependencies

• How to run only a subset of tests using groups

What is a benefit of understanding TestNG groups for interviews?

• It indicates familiarity with test dependencies

• It shows ability to configure Maven projects

• It demonstrates understanding of test categorization

• It shows knowledge of parallel execution
