TestNG @AfterGroups Annotation

We have learned about the @BeforeGroups annotation which executes the @BeforeGroups annotated method before the execution of the test methods belonging to the group specified in the parameter of the @BeforeGroups annotation.

@AfterGroups: The @AfterGroups annotated method will run only once after the execution of all the test methods of a specified group.

Let's understand the @AfterGroups annotation through an example:

Step 1: Open the Eclipse.

Step 2: We create a simple project.

After_groups.java

package com.javatpoint;
import org.testng.annotations.AfterGroups;
import org.testng.annotations.Test;
public class After_groups
{
@AfterGroups("Testing tool")
public void after_group()
{
System.out.println("The list which is shown above are the testing tools");
}
@Test(groups= {"Testing tool"})
public void testcase1()
{
System.out.println("Appium");
}
@Test(groups= {"Testing tool"})
public void testcase2()
{
System.out.println("JIRA");
}
@Test(groups= {"Testing tool"})
public void testcase3()
{
System.out.println("RedMine");
}
}

In the above java project, we have created the @AfterGroups annotated method and we pass the "TestingTool" which means that the @AfterGroups annotated method, i.e., after_group() will be invoked after execution of all the test methods belonging to the "Testing tool" group.

Step 3: Now, we create a testng.xml file to configure the above class.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE suite SYSTEM "http://testng.org/testng-1.0.dtd">
<suite name="test_suite">
<test name="Testing tools">
<classes>
<class name="com.javatpoint.After_groups"/>
</classes>
</test> <!-- Test -->
</suite> <!-- Suite -->

Step 4: Run the testng.xml file. Right click on the testng.xml file and then move the cursor down to Run As and then click on the 1 TestNG Suite.
