Following is the list of the most useful and favorable annotations in TestNG:
| Annotation | Description |
|---|---|
| @Test | The annotation notifies the system that the method annotated as @Test is a test method |
| @BeforeSuite | The annotation notifies the system that the method annotated as @BeforeSuite must be executed before executing the tests in the entire suite |
| @AfterSuite | The annotation notifies the system that the method annotated as @AfterSuite must be executed after executing the tests in the entire suite |
| @BeforeTest | The annotation notifies the system that the method annotated as @BeforeTest must be executed before executing any test method within the same test class |
| @AfterTest | The annotation notifies the system that the method annotated as @AfterTest must be executed after executing any test method within the same test class |
| @BeforeClass | The annotation notifies the system that the method annotated as @BeforeClass must be executed before executing the first test method within the same test class |
| @AfterClass | The annotation notifies the system that the method annotated as @AfterClass must be executed after executing the last test method within the same test class |
| @BeforeMethod | The annotation notifies the system that the method annotated as @BeforeMethod must be executed before executing any and every test method within the same test class |
| @AfterMethod | The annotation notifies the system that the method annotated as @AfterMethod must be executed after executing any and every test method within the same test class |
| @BeforeGroups | The annotation notifies the system that the method annotated as @BeforeGroups is a configuration method that enlists a group and that must be executed before executing the first test method of the group |
| @AfterGroups | The annotation notifies the system that the method annotated as @AfterGroups is a configuration method that enlists a group and that must be executed after executing the last test method of the group |
