This interface is used to augment or replace TestNG's algorithm to decide whether a test method
should be included in a test run.

Params:
  • context – The selector context. The implementation of this method can invoke
    setHalted(true) to indicate that no other Method Selector should be invoked by TestNG after
    this one. Additionally, this implementation can manipulate the Map object returned by
    getUserData().
  • method – The test method
  • isTestMethod – true if this is a @Test method, false if it's a configuration method
Returns:true if this method should be included in the test run, false otherwise

work, such as adding the transitive closure of all the groups being included and depended upon.
