## Annotation Type FixMethodOrder

-     @Retention(value=RUNTIME)
      @Target(value=TYPE)
      public @interface FixMethodOrder

  This class allows the user to choose the order of execution of the methods within a test class.

  The default order of execution of JUnit tests within a class is deterministic but not predictable. The order of execution is not guaranteed for Java 7 (and some previous versions), and can even change from run to run, so the order of execution was changed to be deterministic (in JUnit 4.11)

  It is recommended that test methods be written so that they are independent of the order that they are executed. However, there may be a number of dependent tests either through error or by design. This class allows the user to specify the order of execution of test methods.

  For possibilities, see `MethodSorters` Here is an example:

       @FixMethodOrder(MethodSorters.NAME_ASCENDING)
       public class MyTest {
       }
