[arquillian-issues] [JBoss JIRA] Commented: (ARQ-474) provide a mechanism to order the test runs

[Martin Gencur (JIRA)]

    [ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/ARQ-474?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12612173#comment-12612173 ] 

Martin Gencur commented on ARQ-474:
-----------------------------------

How about providing an annotation, lets say, @Ordered with which a whole test class could be annotated and then the test methods would be ordered according to the order in which they are written in the test class (from top->down). Do you think it would be possible?

> Currently there exists annotation for deployment ordering but there does not exist a way to control the order in which one wants to run the test. TestNG does have ordering via depends method but JUnit does not. Usually, it's recommended to not have a dependency of test order but in case of clustering and data grid testing where you want to verify replication, it makes sense to have that.
> Please add a fix version which makes a sense based on the roadmap you have.
