Annotation Type AfterClass

    public @interface AfterClass

If you allocate expensive external resources in a `BeforeClass` method you need to release them after all the tests in the class have run. Annotating a `public static void` method with `@AfterClass` causes that method to be run after all the tests in the class have been run. All `@AfterClass` methods are guaranteed to run even if a `BeforeClass` method throws an exception. The `@AfterClass` methods declared in superclasses will be run after those of the current class.

Here is a simple example:

     public class Example {
        private static DatabaseConnection database;
        @BeforeClass public static void login() {
              database= ...;
        }
        @Test public void something() {
              ...
        }
        @Test public void somethingElse() {
              ...
        }
        @AfterClass public static void logout() {
              database.logout();
        }
     }
