I'm forced to use JUnit 3 for a particular test suite. I understand setUp() and tearDown() serve the function of @Before and @After, but is there an analogue of @BeforeClass and @AfterClass for things that should happen once before the tests start, and once after all tests are run?

The code marked @Before is executed before each test, while @BeforeClass runs once before the entire test fixture.
org.junitAnnotating a public static void no-arg method with @BeforeClass causes it to be run once before any of the test methods in the class. The @BeforeClass methods of superclasses will be run before those of the current class, unless they are shadowed in the current class.
org.junitIf you allocate expensive external resources in a BeforeClass method you need to release them after all the tests in the class have run. Annotating a public static void method with @AfterClass causes that method to be run after all the tests in the class have been run.
The BeforeClass annotation indicates that the static method to which is attached must be executed once and before all tests in the class. That happens when the test methods share computationally expensive setup (e.g. connect to database).
OK, I should have searched SO better.
Class teardown in junit 3?
public static Test suite() { return new TestSetup(new TestSuite(YourTestClass.class)) { protected void setUp() throws Exception { System.out.println(" Global setUp "); } protected void tearDown() throws Exception { System.out.println(" Global tearDown "); } }; } If you love us?
