This method will be invoked by TestNG to give you a chance
to modify a TestNG annotation read from your test classes.
You can change the values you need by calling any of the
setters on the ITest interface.
Note that only one of the three parameters testClass,
testConstructor and testMethod will be non-null.
Params:
annotation – The annotation that was read from your
test class.
testClass – If the annotation was found on a class, this
parameter represents this class (null otherwise).
testConstructor – If the annotation was found on a constructor,
this parameter represents this constructor (null otherwise).
testMethod – If the annotation was found on a method,
this parameter represents this method (null otherwise)./**
