+# UnitTestShouldUseTestAnnotation
+
+*Usage:* 
+`pmd check -d <source code folder> -R category/java/bestpractices.xml/UnitTestShouldUseTestAnnotation -format <output format>`
+
+*Description:*
+
+In JUnit 3, the setUp method was used to set up all data entities required in running tests.
+JUnit 4 skips the setUp method and executes all methods annotated with @Before before all tests.
+JUnit 5 introduced @BeforeEach and @BeforeAll annotations to execute methods before each test or before all tests in the class, respectively.
+        
+
+*Example:*
+```java
+
+
+public class MyTest {
+    public void setUp() {
+        bad();
+    }
+}
+public class MyTest2 {
+    @Before public void setUp() {
+        good();
+    }
+}
+
+        
+```
