Element Detail

groups

public abstract String[] groups

The list of groups this class/method belongs to.

Default:

{}

enabled

public abstract boolean enabled

Whether methods on this class/method are enabled.

Default:

true

parameters

@Deprecated
public abstract String[] parameters

Deprecated. Use @Parameters

The list of variables used to fill the parameters of this method. These variables must be defined in the property file.

Default:

{}

dependsOnGroups

public abstract String[] dependsOnGroups

The list of groups this method depends on. Every method member of one of these groups is guaranteed to have been invoked before this method. Furthermore, if any of these methods was not a SUCCESS, this test method will not be run and will be flagged as a SKIP.

Default:

{}

dependsOnMethods

public abstract String[] dependsOnMethods

The list of methods this method depends on. There is no guarantee on the order on which the methods depended upon will be run, but you are guaranteed that all these methods will be run before the test method that contains this annotation is run. Furthermore, if any of these methods was not a SUCCESS, this test method will not be run and will be flagged as a SKIP. If some of these methods have been overloaded, all the overloaded versions will be run.

Default:

{}

timeOut

public abstract long timeOut

The maximum number of milliseconds this test should take. If it hasn't returned after this time, it will be marked as a FAIL.

Default:

0L

invocationTimeOut

public abstract long invocationTimeOut

The maximum number of milliseconds that the total number of invocations on this test method should take. This annotation will be ignored if the attribute invocationCount is not specified on this method. If it hasn't returned after this time, it will be marked as a FAIL.

Default:

0L

invocationCount

public abstract int invocationCount

The number of times this method should be invoked.

Default:

1

threadPoolSize

public abstract int threadPoolSize

The size of the thread pool for this method. The method will be invoked from multiple threads as specified by invocationCount. Note: this attribute is ignored if invocationCount is not specified

Default:

0

successPercentage

public abstract int successPercentage

The percentage of success expected from this method.

Default:

100

dataProvider

public abstract String dataProvider

The name of the data provider for this test method.

See Also:

DataProvider

Default:

""

dataProviderClass

public abstract Class<?> dataProviderClass

The class where to look for the data provider. If not specified, the dataprovider will be looked on the class of the current test method or one of its super classes. If this attribute is specified, the data provider method needs to be static on the specified class.

Default:

java.lang.Object.class

alwaysRun

public abstract boolean alwaysRun

If set to true, this test method will always be run even if it depends on a method that failed. This attribute will be ignored if this test doesn't depend on any method or group.

Default:

false

description

public abstract String description

The description for this method. The string used will appear in the HTML report and also on standard output if verbose >= 2.

Default:

""

expectedExceptions

public abstract Class[] expectedExceptions

The list of exceptions that a test method is expected to throw. If no exception or a different than one on this list is thrown, this test will be marked a failure.

Default:

{}

expectedExceptionsMessageRegExp

public abstract String expectedExceptionsMessageRegExp

If expectedExceptions was specified, its message must match the regular expression specified in this attribute.

Default:

".*"

suiteName

public abstract String suiteName

The name of the suite this test class should be placed in. This attribute is ignore if @Test is not at the class level.

Default:

""

testName

public abstract String testName

Deprecated. Use singleThreaded

Default:

false

singleThreaded

public abstract boolean singleThreaded

If set to true, all the methods on this test class are guaranteed to run in the same thread, even if the tests are currently being run with parallel="true". This attribute can only be used at the class level and will be ignored if used at the method level.
