Test Priorities In TestNG

What Is Test Priority In TestNG ?

Priority is an attribute that enables the user to define the order of the test execution.

If we have multiple test cases and we want to run them in a particular order ,we can use 'priority' attribute to set test priority.

The default priority of a test is 'zero'.

Syntax to set test priority :

@Test(priority=1) public void testCase2() {

}

Priority can be set in following ways :

Positive Test Priority : Run in the sequence of highest priority.

package testNGexamples;

import org.testng.annotations.Test;

public class PriorityTest {

@Test(priority=3)
public void testCase1() {
System.out.println("For testCase1 : Test Priority is set 3");
}

@Test(priority=1)
public void testCase2() {
System.out.println("For testCase2 : Test Priority is set 1");
}

@Test(priority=2)
public void testCase3() {
System.out.println("For testCase3 : Test Priority is set 2");
}
}

Output :

[RemoteTestNG] detected TestNG version 7.4.0
For testCase2 : Test Priority is set 1
For testCase3 : Test Priority is set 2
For testCase1 : Test Priority is set 3
PASSED: testCase3
PASSED: testCase2
PASSED: testCase1

Negative Test Priority : Run before the default test priorities.

package testNGexamples;

import org.testng.annotations.Test;

public class NegativeTestPriority {

@Test
public void testCase1() {
System.out.println("For testCase1 : Test Priority is Default.");
}

@Test(priority=-1)
public void testCase2() {
System.out.println("For testCase2 : Test Priority is set -1 and It will Execute Before the Default Priority Test.");
}
}

Output :

[RemoteTestNG] detected TestNG version 7.4.0
For testCase2 : Test Priority is set -1 and It will Execute Before the Default Priority Test.
For testCase1 : Test Priority is Default.
PASSED: testCase2
PASSED: testCase1

Same Test Priority : If tests have same priority then it will run in alphabetical order.

package testNGexamples;

import org.testng.annotations.Test;

public class SameTestPriority {

@Test(priority=2)
public void bMethod() {
System.out.println("For bMethod : Test Priority is 2");
}

@Test(priority=2)
public void aMethod() {
System.out.println("For aMethod : Test Priority is 2");
}

@Test(priority=1)
public void cMethod() {
System.out.println("For cMethod : Test Priority is 1");
}
@Test(priority=3)
public void dMethod() {
System.out.println("For dMethod : Test Priority is 3");
}
}

Output :

[RemoteTestNG] detected TestNG version 7.4.0
For cMethod : Test Priority is 1
For aMethod : Test Priority is 2
For bMethod : Test Priority is 2
For dMethod : Test Priority is 3
PASSED: dMethod
PASSED: bMethod
PASSED: cMethod
PASSED: aMethod

*If tests have no priorities then it will run in alphabetical order.
