easy📝 Conceptual Q2 of 15
Selenium Java - TestNG Integration
What happens if a method annotated with @BeforeMethod throws an exception?
AThe test method will run anyway
BThe test method will be skipped
CThe test method will run twice
DThe test method will fail but still run
Step-by-Step Solution
Solution:
  1. Step 1: Understand @BeforeMethod behavior on exceptions

    If a @BeforeMethod method throws an exception, TestNG skips the test method because setup failed.
  2. Step 2: Verify other options

    TestNG does not run the test twice or run it despite setup failure; it skips the test.
  3. Final Answer:

    The test method will be skipped -> Option B
  4. Quick Check:

    Exception in @BeforeMethod skips test = B [OK]
Quick Trick: Exception in @BeforeMethod skips the test method [OK]
Common Mistakes:
MISTAKES
  • Assuming test runs even if setup fails
  • Thinking test runs twice on exception
  • Confusing failure with skipping
