TestNG BeforeMethod and AfterMethod

This article will witness the TestNG's beforemethod and aftermethod annotations.

BeforeMethod:

• The @BeforeMethod annotation is called before the execution of each method.
• For example, there are five tests, and the third is @BeforeMethod.
• The third method is executed first and then moves on to the rest in order.

package week4.day2;
import java.util.List;
import org.openqa.selenium.By;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebElement;
import org.openqa.selenium.chrome.ChromeDriver;
import org.testng.annotations.AfterMethod;
import org.testng.annotations.BeforeMethod;
import org.testng.annotations.Test;
import io.github.bonigarcia.wdm.WebDriverManager;
public class PopUp {
    @BeforeMethod
    private void test1() {
        System.out.println("I came Before");
    }

    @Test
    public void popUp() throws Throwable {
        WebDriverManager.chromedriver().setup();
        ChromeDriver driver = new ChromeDriver();
        driver.get("https://www.programsbuzz.com/");
        driver.manage().window().maximize();
        Thread.sleep(3000);
        List<WebElement> elementTexts = driver.findElements(By.xpath("//div[@class='header__main__left']"));
        for (WebElement webElement : elementTexts) {
            System.out.println(webElement.getText());
        }
    }
}

• We can see here the test1 method has been run before the popup method.

AfterMethod:

• @AfterMethod is the opposite of what BeforeMethod does.
• This method is run after each method in a TesNG test.
• For example, we have four tests; the second uses @AfterMethod annotation.
• The second method is run after the execution of each test method.

package week4.day2;
import java.util.List;
import org.openqa.selenium.By;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebElement;
import org.openqa.selenium.chrome.ChromeDriver;
import org.testng.annotations.AfterMethod;
import org.testng.annotations.BeforeMethod;
import org.testng.annotations.Test;
import io.github.bonigarcia.wdm.WebDriverManager;
public class PopUp {

    @AfterMethod
    private void test2() {
        System.out.println("I come After");
    }
    @Test
    public void popUp() throws Throwable {
        WebDriverManager.chromedriver().setup();
        ChromeDriver driver = new ChromeDriver();
        driver.get("https://www.programsbuzz.com/");
        driver.manage().window().maximize();
        Thread.sleep(3000);
        List<WebElement> elementTexts = driver.findElements(By.xpath("//div[@class='header__main__left']"));
        for (WebElement webElement : elementTexts) {
            System.out.println(webElement.getText());
        }
    }
}

• We can see here popUp method has run, and then after that, test2 has been executed since it has the @AfterMethod annotation.
