TestNG @AfterMethod Annotation

The @AfterMethod annotation is specific to a class not to an XML file. The @AfterMethod annotated method will be invoked after the execution of each test method. Suppose there are four test methods means that @AfterMethod annotated method will be executed four times.

Let's understand the @AfterMethod annotation through an example.

Step 1: Open the Eclipse.

Step 2: We create a simple java project which contains the @AfterMethod annotated method.

After_Method.java

package com.javatpoint;
import org.testng.annotations.AfterMethod;
import org.testng.annotations.Test;
public class After_Method 
{
@AfterMethod
public void after_method()
{
System.out.println("This method will be invoked after the execution of each test method");
}
@Test
public void c_programmers()
{
System.out.println("I am a C programmer");
}
@Test
public void java_programmers()
{
System.out.println("I am a java programmer");
}
@Test
public void dotnet_developer()
{
System.out.println("I am a .Net Developer");
}
}

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

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

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

Output

Note: TestNG executes the test methods in alphabetical order.

In the above case, first c_programmers() method runs, then @AfterMethod annotated method is executed, thereafter dotnet_developer() method runs, then @AfterMethod annotated method is executed, and at the last java_programmers() method run, and then @AfterMethod annotated method will be executed.
