java - Choose order to execute JUnit tests

Question

I wanted to choose the order to execute the JUnit tests. I have 4 classes with several test methods in it, my goal is to execute, for instance, method Y of class A, then method X from class B, and finally method Z from class A.

Would you help please?

Answer 1

From version 4.11 you can specify execution order using annotations and ordering by method name:

import org.junit.Test;
import org.junit.FixMethodOrder;
import org.junit.runners.MethodSorters;

@FixMethodOrder(MethodSorters.NAME_ASCENDING)
public class MyTest {

    @Test
    public void test1Create() {
        System.out.println("first");
    }

    @Test
    public void test2Update() {
        System.out.println("second");
    }
}
