I understand in Junit 4, @Before can be used to setup test fixtures for the test class’s multiple test methods.
However, in my system, there are common test objects i would like to have available for all tests.
What is the most appropriate name for these objects and what is a good best practice way to store them?
The best practice is to create them in the fixture so as to keep the tests isolated, unless their state is not changed by the tests (such as a logger). Otherwise one may have side-effects between the tests: one test failing because of another one, or the opposite.
