Annotation Interface TestMethodOrder

@Target(TYPE) @Retention(RUNTIME) @Documented @Inherited @API(status=STABLE, since="5.7") public @interface TestMethodOrder
@TestMethodOrder is a type-level annotation that is used to configure a MethodOrderer for the test methods of the annotated test class or test interface.

In this context, the term "test method" refers to any method annotated with @Test, @RepeatedTest, @ParameterizedTest, @TestFactory, or @TestTemplate.

If @TestMethodOrder is not explicitly declared on a test class, inherited from a parent class, or declared on a test interface implemented by a test class, test methods will be ordered using a default algorithm that is deterministic but intentionally nonobvious.

Example Usage

The following demonstrates how to guarantee that test methods are executed in the order specified via the @Order annotation. 

 @TestMethodOrder(MethodOrderer.OrderAnnotation.class)
 class OrderedTests {

     @Test
     @Order(1)
     void nullValues() {}

     @Test
     @Order(2)
     void emptyValues() {}

     @Test
     @Order(3)
     void validValues() {}
 }
