Selenium Java - TestNG Integration

A@BeforeMethod(onlyForGroups = "smoke")

B@BeforeMethod(alwaysRun = true, groups = "smoke")

C@BeforeMethod(groups = "smoke")

D@BeforeMethod(onlyForGroups = {"smoke"})

Step-by-Step Solution

Solution:

Step 1: Recall @BeforeMethod group filtering syntax
@BeforeMethod supports a groups attribute to specify which test groups it applies to.
Step 2: Evaluate options
@BeforeMethod(groups = "smoke") correctly uses groups = "smoke". Options A and D use invalid attribute onlyForGroups, and C mixes alwaysRun unnecessarily.
Final Answer:
@BeforeMethod(groups = "smoke") -> Option C
Quick Check:
Use groups attribute to filter @BeforeMethod = B [OK]

Quick Trick: Use groups="groupName" to limit @BeforeMethod [OK]
