Method Detail

getName

java.lang.String getName()

Returns:

this test class name. This is the name of the corresponding Java class.

getXmlTest

XmlTest getXmlTest()

Returns:

the <test> tag this class was found in.

getXmlClass

XmlClass getXmlClass()

Returns:

the *lt;class> tag this class was found in.

getTestName

java.lang.String getTestName()

If this class implements org.testng.ITest, returns its test name, otherwise returns null.

getRealClass

java.lang.Class<?> getRealClass()

Returns:

the Java class corresponding to this IClass.

getInstances

java.lang.Object[] getInstances(boolean create)

Returns all the instances the methods will be invoked upon. This will typically be an array of one object in the absence of a @Factory annotation.

Parameters:

create - flag if a new set of instances must be returned (if set to false)

Returns:

All the instances the methods will be invoked upon.

getInstanceCount

@Deprecated
int getInstanceCount()

Deprecated. Not used

Returns:

The number of instances used in this class. This method is needed for serialization since we don't know ahead of time if the instances of the test classes will be serializable.

getInstanceHashCodes

long[] getInstanceHashCodes()

addInstance

void addInstance(java.lang.Object instance)
