Qaf BDD2 setup() and teardown ()

Question

I am using QAF framework BDD2 for regression automation. I know how to setup setup() and teardown() webdriver in testNG but I am not sure do we have capability to set up the same QAF BDD2 setup() and teardown(). Kindly help with some examples.

I will provide a usecase which helps to understand exactly I am looking for:

whenever I wanted to run the test suite, I want to create a custom downloads folder in c:/users/XXX. Where this folder contains all my test downloads.
At setup() I want to implement createCustomFolder() method to create the custom folder before the test suite begins
At the end of all tests in test suite. I want to implement teardown() methods where it contains delete files() deletes the files inside the custom folder and delete custom folder() delete the folder.

Share the code sample, you are talking about. With qaf you don't need webdriver setup/teardown code even when using testng — user861594, Feb 13 '22 at 16:57

You can take benefit of testng listener and qaf listeners. For example, in above use case, implement testng suite listener and do the needful in before and after suite methods:

public class MySuiteListener implements ISuiteListener{

   public void onStart(ISuite suite) {
     //create directory
   }

   public void onFinish(ISuite suite){
     //delete directory
   }

}

You can register TestNG listener thorough configuration file

<suite name="MYAPP Tests">
  <listeners>
    <listener class-name="com.example.MySuiteListener" />
  </listeners>

  <test name="QAF-BDD-Test">
     <classes>
        <class name="com.qmetry.qaf.automation.step.client.text.BDDTestFactory2" />
     </classes>
</test>
