@BeforeClass and inheritance - order of execution

Question

I have an abstract base class, which I use as a base for my unit tests (TestNG 5.10). In this class, I initialize the whole environment for my tests, setting up database map

Answer 1

In my case (JUnit) I have the same methods called setup() in the base class and the derived class. In this case only the derived class's method is called, and I have it call the base class method.
