A test class should be named <<<**/*Test>>> and should contain <<>> methods which will each be executed by surefire. Validating assertions can be done using the JDK 1.4 <<>> keyword. Simultaneous test execution is not possible with POJO tests. Fixture can be setup before and after each <<>> method by implementing a set-up and a tear-down method. These methods must match these signatures to be recognized and executed before and after each test method. +---+ public void setUp(); public void tearDown(); +---+ These fixture methods can also throw any exception and will still be valid.
