| JUnit4 provides two annotations ([`@BeforeClass`][beforeclass] and |
| [`@AfterClass`][afterclass]) that are applied to methods that are run once per |
| **test class**. These complement the more-often used `@Before` and `@After` |
| which are applied to methods that are run once per **test method**. |
| |
| JUnit4 runs `@BeforeClass` and `@AfterClass` methods without making an instance |
| of the test class, meaning that the methods must be `static`. JUnit4 will fail |
| to run any `@BeforeClass` or `@AfterClass` method that isn't also `static`. |
