Selenium Java - TestNG Integration

In a test suite, testC depends on testB, and testB depends on testA. If testA is skipped, what happens to testB and testC?

AtestB runs, testC is skipped.

BBoth testB and testC are skipped.

CtestB is skipped, testC runs.

DBoth testB and testC run regardless.

Step-by-Step Solution

Solution:

Step 1: Understand cascading skip
If testA is skipped, testB (which depends on testA) is skipped.
Step 2: Propagate skip to testC
Since testC depends on testB, and testB is skipped, testC is also skipped.
Final Answer:
Both testB and testC are skipped. -> Option B
Quick Check:
Skipped dependency cascades skip downstream = A [OK]

Quick Trick: Skipped tests cause dependent tests to skip too [OK]
