JUnit supports annotations so a method can be executed first in a test class or before each test method is executed. It also has annotations that supports methods to be executed after each test method or after the test class. This is very good if you need a common setup and a common tear down.
The after methods don’t give you access to the test result. You cannot know if a test method failed or not. This may pose a problem if you have a need to perform some specific actions after a failed test. A solution could be to implement an onError() method. But JUnit doesn’t support it.
A solution is to employ a @Rule annotation.
