Issue with methods ( Test cases ) in Selenium Webdriver - selenium

Question

I am new to Selenium, While practicing I come up with one issue, I am doing testing for my own application which has been deployed in tomcat server. So after opening my application I am testing validations in one method and page change in one method. Now My point is I am doing both testing for my both methods at same page.
Why do I need to write same code both methods,
driver.get("http://localhost:8070/");
driver.findElement(By.xpath("//div[#id='actions']/div[2]/a/span")).click();
driver.findElement(By.linkText("/ReportGenerator")).click();
How can I directly perform operations, If I remove above two lines in my second method It is getting failed. How to solve this?
#Test
public void analysisValidation()
{
driver.get("http://localhost:8070/");
driver.findElement(By.xpath("//div[#id='actions']/div[2]/a/span")).click();
driver.findElement(By.linkText("/ReportGenerator")).click();
driver.findElement(By.id("Analysis")).click();
WebElement webElement = driver.findElement(By.id("modelForm.errors"));
String alertMsg = webElement.getText();
System.out.println(alertMsg);
Assert.assertEquals("Please select a Survey Id to perform Aggregate Analysis", alertMsg);
}
#Test
public void testAnalysisPage()
{
driver.get("http://localhost:8070/");
driver.findElement(By.xpath("//div[#id='actions']/div[2]/a/span")).click();
driver.findElement(By.linkText("/ReportGenerator")).click();
new Select(driver.findElement(By.id("surveyId"))).selectByVisibleText("Apollo");
driver.findElement(By.id("Analysis")).click();
System.out.println(driver.getTitle());
String pageTitle = driver.getTitle();
Assert.assertEquals("My JSP 'analysis.jsp' starting page", pageTitle);
}

my second method It is getting failed. How to solve this
The tests fail because each #Test test is executed independently. The code you remove is needed to initialize the driver and load the page.
You can fix this as follows:
Create a function, setUp() with the #beforemethod annotation. Populate it with the driver initialization and loading-page calls.
Create a function, teardown() with the #AfterMethod annotation. Populate it with the driver cleanup calls.
For example, here is some pseudocode (modify this as per taste)
#BeforeMethod
public void setUp() throws Exception {
driver.get("http://localhost:8070/");
driver.findElement(By.xpath("//div[#id='actions']/div[2]/a/span")).click();
driver.findElement(By.linkText("/ReportGenerator")).click();
}
#AfterMethod
public void teardown() throws Exception {
driver.quit()
}
The advantage of the #BeforeMethod and #AfterMethod annotations is that the code will be run before / after each #Test method executes. You can therefore avoid having to duplicate your code.
