TestNG Annotations - @AfterGroups

@AfterGroups is one of the TestNG Annotations. As the name defines, @AfterGroups should be executed after all the test methods belonging to a specified group have been run. This annotation allows developers to specify various actions to be taken after all the test methods belonging to a specified group have been run.

Let's understand the @AfterGroups annotation through an example.

Step 1: In the Maven Project, create a TestNG Class that contains @AfterGroups.

After_Groups.Java

package com.geeksforgeeks.test;

import org.testng.annotations.AfterGroups;
import org.testng.annotations.Test;

public class After_Groups {
      
    @AfterGroups("Frontend Testing")  
    public void after_group()  
    {  
    System.out.println("Above are the frontend testing type");  
    }  
    @Test(groups= {"Frontend Testing"})  
     public void fun1() {
         System.out.println("Unit Testing");
     }
     @Test(groups= {"Frontend Testing"})
     public void fun2() {
         System.out.println("Integration Testing:");
     }
     @Test(groups= {"Frontend Testing"})
     public void fun3() {
         System.out.println("Regression Testing");
     }
     @Test(groups= {"Backend Testing"})
     public void fun4() {
         System.out.println("Structural testing");
     }
}

Now, let's explain what this code does:

Package Declaration: After_Groups Class is on the com.geeksforgeeks.test package.

Imports: After_Groups Class imports annotations and classes from the TestNG framework (org.testng.annotations.AfterGroups and org.testng.annotations.Test).

After_Group Class: This is the main test class, It contains test methods and after groups method.

afterGroups (@AfterGroups): This method is annotated with @AfterGroups, indicating that it should be executed after groups execution. It prints this "Above are the frontend testing type" statement.

Test Methods (@Test):

• Each test method is annotated with @Test, indicating that it is a test case.
• There are four test methods: fun1(), fun2(), fun3() and fun4().
• Each test method prints their respective statement.
• After performing the operation, the result is printed to the console.

Step 2: Now, we create the AnnotationsTest.xml file to configure the After_Groups 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_Groups" /> 
                
        </classes>
    </test>
</suite>

Step 3: Run the AnnotationsTest.xml. Right click on the AnnotationsTest.xml file, move the cursor down to Run As and then click on the TestNG Suite.
