Nope we haven't downgraded testNG in TAF 4.3.1. in your old tests modules,
 6.8 version might be explicitly specified. We only recommend to go with
testNG 6.1.1 as 6.8 is not much stable.

Some other products like AS also use @Factory with @BeforeTest and
@AfterTest annotations with 6.1.1. Need to figure out what is really
happening here.

Thanks,
