You have three TestNG test methods: authenticate(), performSearch(), and signOut(). You want performSearch() to execute only if authenticate() passes, and signOut() to execute only if performSearch() passes. How should you set the dependencies?
A<pre>@Test public void authenticate() {}<br>@Test(dependsOnMethods = {"authenticate"}) public void performSearch() {}<br>@Test(dependsOnMethods = {"performSearch"}) public void signOut() {}</pre>
B<pre>@Test(dependsOnMethods = {"performSearch"}) public void authenticate() {}<br>@Test(dependsOnMethods = {"signOut"}) public void performSearch() {}<br>@Test public void signOut() {}</pre>
C<pre>@Test(dependsOnMethods = {"signOut"}) public void authenticate() {}<br>@Test public void performSearch() {}<br>@Test(dependsOnMethods = {"authenticate"}) public void signOut() {}</pre>
D<pre>@Test public void authenticate() {}<br>@Test public void performSearch() {}<br>@Test public void signOut() {}</pre>
Step-by-Step Solution
Solution:
Step 1: Understand dependency chain
performSearch depends on authenticate, signOut depends on performSearch.
Step 2: Apply dependsOnMethods correctly
Each dependent method should declare dependsOnMethods with the method it depends on.
Final Answer:
Option A correctly sets dependencies in sequence. -> Option A
Quick Check:
Dependencies must follow execution order [OK]
Quick Trick:Chain dependencies with dependsOnMethods in execution order [OK]
Common Mistakes:
Reversing dependency directions
Not specifying dependencies at all
Assigning dependencies to wrong methods
