Overriding a parent class method prevents that method from being called unless an explicit super call is made in the overriding
method. In some cases not calling the super method is acceptable, but not with setUp and tearDown in a JUnit 3
TestCase.
public class MyClassTest extends MyAbstractTestCase {
private MyClass myClass;
@Override
protected void setUp() throws Exception { // Noncompliant
myClass = new MyClass();
}
public class MyClassTest extends MyAbstractTestCase {
private MyClass myClass;
@Override
protected void setUp() throws Exception {
super.setUp();
myClass = new MyClass();
}
