How to share JUnit BeforeClass logic among multiple test classes

Question

Currently, all of my JUnit tests extend from a common base class that provides methods tagged with @BeforeClass and @AfterClass annotations - all thes

Answer 1

You can use the @BeforeClass and @AfterClass IN THE SUITE CLASS.

This will run the methods before any of the test classes in the suite execute and after all the test classes finish (respectively)

This way you can run them only once.

//..usual @RunWith etc annotations here
public class MySuite{

@BeforeClass
public static void setup(){

}

@AfterClass
public static void tearDown(){

}

}
