Annotation Type TestFactory

@Target(value={ANNOTATION_TYPE,METHOD})
 @Retention(value=RUNTIME)
 @Documented
 @API(value=Experimental)
public @interface TestFactory

@TestFactory is used to signal that the annotated method is a test factory method.

In contrast to @Test methods, a test factory is not itself a test case but rather a factory for test cases.

@TestFactory methods must not be private or static and must return a Stream, Collection, Iterable, or Iterator of DynamicTest instances. These DynamicTests will then be executed lazily, enabling dynamic and even non-deterministic generation of test cases.

@TestFactory methods may optionally declare parameters to be resolved by ParameterResolvers.
