Annotation Interface Order


@Target({FIELD,METHOD}) @Retention(RUNTIME) @Documented @API(status=EXPERIMENTAL, since="5.4") public @interface Order
@Order is an annotation that is used to configure the order in which the annotated element (i.e., field or method) should be evaluated or executed relative to other elements of the same category.

When used with @RegisterExtension, the category applies to extension fields. When used with the MethodOrderer.OrderAnnotation MethodOrderer, the category applies to test methods.

If @Order is not explicitly declared on an element, the DEFAULT order value will be assigned to the element.

      int value
