I have not used the @Factory and we use dependsOnMethod whenever we want to run tests in a particular sequence, because TestNG orders the tests in a sequence before running them. There might be a smarter way to do this which I am not aware of. I will look into this. You can use @DataProvider to pass the parameters to your tests at the run-time. The alternate way is to define the parameters in the TestNG suite.xml file for the tests and use @Parameter annotation on the test.
