The @Ignore annotation is used to ignore a test method. This is useful when a test is temporarily disabled or if it is no longer relevant. The @Ignore annotation can be used at the class level or at the method level. When used at the class level, all of the methods in the class will be ignored. When used at the method level, only that particular method will be ignored. In either case, the test will not be executed and will not contribute to the overall success or failure of the test suite. There are a few reasons why you might want to use the @Ignore annotation. For example, if you are working on a new feature and have not yet implemented the corresponding test cases, you can temporarily ignore those tests until they are ready. Alternatively, if a test is failing and you are not sure why, you can temporarily ignore it until you have time to investigate further. In either case, it is important to remember to remove the @Ignore annotation when the test is ready to be run again.
