Has JUnit4 begun supporting ordering of test? Is it intentional?

Question

A newbie to JUnit (in fact JUnit 4) and came across suite way of executing test

@RunWith(Suite.class)
@Suite.SuiteClasses(
        {                                  


        

Answer 1

No, ordering is not supported. And yes, it is intention:

KentBeck commented (December 30, 2010): Independent tests are more valuable, so JUnit by design does not support test ordering.

If you need this feature, you could use TestNG with it's @Test(sequential = true).
