TestNG @AfterTest Annotation

@AfterTest is one of the TestNG Annotations. As the name defines, @AfterTest is executed after the execution of all the @test annotated methods inside a TestNG Suite. This annotation allows developers to specify various actions to be taken after the execution of all the @test annotated methods inside a TestNG Suite.

Let’s understand the @AfterTest annotation through an example.

Step 1: In the Maven project, create a TestNG Class that contains @AfterTest.

1. After_Test.Java

package com.geeksforgeeks.test;

import org.testng.annotations.Test;
import org.testng.annotations.AfterTest;

public class After_Test {
  
  @AfterTest
  public void afterTest() {
      System.out.println("This method will be executed when all @Test annotated methods complete the execution");
  }
 
  @Test
  public void test1() {
      System.out.println("Test1 Executed");
  }

  @Test
  public void test2() {
      System.out.println("Test2 Executed");
  }

}

Step 2. Create another class After_Test2.Java.

package com.geeksforgeeks.test;

import org.testng.annotations.Test;

public class After_Test2 {
  @Test
  public void test3() {
      System.out.println("test3 executed");
  }
  @Test
  public void test4() {
      System.out.println("test4 executed");
  }
}

Now, let’s explain what this code does:

• Package Declaration: Both the Class is on the com.geeksforgeeks.test package.
• Imports: Both Class imports annotations and classes from the TestNG framework (org.testng.annotations.BeforeMethod and org.testng.annotations.Test).
• After_Test Class: This is the main test class. It contains test methods and afterTest method.

afterTest (@AfterTest):

• This method is annotated with @AfterTest, indicating that it should be executed after test execution this suite contains many classes.
• It prints this "This method will be executed when all @Test annotated methods complete the execution" statement.

Test Methods (@Test):

• Each test method is annotated with @Test, indicating that it is a test case.
• There are two test methods: test1() and test2().

Each test method prints their respective statement.

After_Test2 Class

• This class doesn't contain @AfterTest annotated method.
• It contains two methods: test3() and test4().
• Each test method prints their respective statement.

After performing the operation, the result is printed to the console.

Step 3: Now, we create the AnnotationsTest.xml file to configure the After_Test Class and After_Test2 Class.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<!DOCTYPE suite SYSTEM "https://testng.org/testng-1.0.dtd">
<suite name="suite">
    <test name="test1">
        <classes>
               <class name="com.geeksforgeeks.test.After_Test" /> 
               <class name="com.geeksforgeeks.test.After_Test2" /> 
               
        </classes>
    </test>
</suite>

Step 4: Run the AnnotationsTest.xml. Right click on the AnnotationsTest.xml file, move the cursor down to Run As and then click on the 1 TestNG Suite.

As we can see in above output @AfterTest annotated method will be executed when all @Test annotated methods will complete their execution of both class.
