      • forName

        public static java.lang.Class<?> forName​(java.lang.String className)
        Tries to load the specified class using the context ClassLoader or if none, than from the default ClassLoader. This method differs from the standard class loading methods in that it does not throw an exception if the class is not found but returns null instead.
        Parameters:
        className - the class name to be loaded.
        Returns:
        the class or null if the class is not found.

        public static java.util.List<ConstructorOrMethod> findDeclaredFactoryMethods​(java.lang.Class<?> cls,
                                                                             IAnnotationFinder finder)
        For the given class, returns the method annotated with @Factory or null if none is found. This method does not search up the superclass hierarchy. If more than one method is @Factory annotated, a TestNGException is thrown.
        Parameters:
        cls - The class to search for the @Factory annotation.
        finder - The finder (JDK 1.4 or JDK 5.0+) use to search for the annotation.
        Returns:
