hard📝 Conceptual Q10 of 15

Selenium Java - TestNG Integration

A@BeforeMethod runs before all tests, @AfterMethod runs after all tests in parallel

B@BeforeMethod and @AfterMethod run sequentially regardless of parallel tests

C@BeforeMethod and @AfterMethod run in the same thread as their test method

D@BeforeMethod and @AfterMethod run in separate threads from test methods

Step-by-Step Solution

Solution:

Step 1: Understand TestNG parallel execution model
When tests run in parallel, @BeforeMethod and @AfterMethod execute in the same thread as their corresponding test method.
Step 2: Evaluate options
@BeforeMethod and @AfterMethod run in the same thread as their test method correctly states this. @BeforeMethod and @AfterMethod run sequentially regardless of parallel tests is false because parallel tests run concurrently. Options C and D incorrectly describe execution threads.
Final Answer:
@BeforeMethod and @AfterMethod run in the same thread as their test method -> Option C
Quick Check:
Config methods run in test thread during parallel execution = A [OK]

Quick Trick: Config methods run in test thread during parallel runs [OK]
