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