How can I improve my junit tests

Question

Right my junit tests look like a long story:

• I create 4 users
• I delete 1 user
• I try to login with the deleted user and make sure it fails

You can use JExample, an extension of JUnit that allows test methods to have return values that are reused by other tests. JExample tests run with the normal JUnit plugin in Eclipse, and also work side by side with normal JUnit tests. Thus migration should be no problem. JExample is used as follows

@RunWith(JExample.class)
public class MyTest {

    @Test
    public Object a() { 
        return new Object();
    }

    @Test
    @Given("#a")
    public Object b(Object object) { 
        // do something with object
        return object; 
    }

    @Test
    @Given("#b")
    public void c(Object object) { 
        // do some more things with object
    }

}
