We can also scrap the TestTemplate which we are using. This template
basically does a server login, test execution, server logout, test
execution.
We can easily do that with TestNG dependencies.
e.g.
public class LoggedInTest {
@Test
public void *login*(){
System.out.println("logged in");
}
@Test
public void logout(){
System.out.println("logged out");
}
}
public class ServiceListingTest extends LoggedInTest {
@Test (*dependsOnMethods* = "*login*", groups = "appserver")
public void listServices(){
System.out.println("++++++ Service List +++++");
System.out.println("Foo.aar");
System.out.println("Bar.aar");
}
}
The above setup will ensure that the listServices test runs only after the
login test.
