How does the execution of a particular test method depend on other test\\nmethods in TestNG?

The execution of a particular test method can be made dependent on another test method with the help of dependsOnMethods helper attribute.

Example

@Test(dependsOnMethods={"Payment"}) public void verifyLoan(){    System.out.println("Loan payment successful"); } @Test public void Payment(){    System.out.println("Payment successful "); } @Test public verifyTransaction(){    System.out.println ("Transaction verification"); }

Here in the Java class file, verifyLoan() method will only be executed after the Payment() method is run successfully. But verifyTransaction() method runs independently without having a precondition test method to be executed.
