JUnit4 has @FixMethodOrder
annotation which allows to use alphabetical order of test methods execution. Is there analogous JUnit5 mechanism?
OrderAnnotation , you'll see: MethodOrderer that sorts methods based on the @Order annotation. Any methods that are assigned the same order value will be sorted arbitrarily adjacent to each other. Any methods not annotated with @Order will be assigned a default order value of Integer.
JUnit 5: @TestMethodOrder, @Order, Interface MethodOrderer. To control the order of execution of tests, the below entities help do the same: The annotation @TestMethodOrder. The annotation @Order.
In general, you can't specify the order that separate unit tests run in (though you could specify priorities in TestNG and have a different priority for each test). However, unit tests should be able to be run in isolation, so the order of the tests should not matter.
Edit: JUnit 5.4 is officially released now, so no need to use snapshots anymore.
This is now possible with JUnit 5.4.

To control the order in which test methods are executed, annotate your test class or test interface with @TestMethodOrder and specify the desired MethodOrderer implementation. You can implement your own custom MethodOrderer or use one of the following built-in MethodOrderer implementations.
Alphanumeric: sorts test methods alphanumerically based on their names and formal parameter lists.
OrderAnnotation: sorts test methods numerically based on values specified via the @Order annotation.
No, not yet. For unit tests, execution order should be irrelevant. For more complex tests, JUnit is aiming to provide explicit support - test ordering would be part of that.
