Annotation Type Fixture

@Documented
 @Inherited
 @Retention(value=RUNTIME)
 @Target(value=FIELD)
public @interface Fixture

An annotation that can be placed on test related classes or test class fields to denote them as test fixture. Note that if this annotation is placed on:

• a test class field then the value of the field can be initialized or destroyed before and after each test run:

   
    @Module(MyModule.class)
    public class MyModuleServiceiT {
  
        @Sut
        @Fixture(init = "init", destroy = "destroy")
        MyService sut;
  
   }
   
   

• a module class the services defined in the module will take precedence over services defined in other modules. This is useful if you wish to substitute certain services for testing purpose (i.e. load a different DataSource than the one for production during test runs):

   
    @Fixture
    public class MyModule {
  
       ...
  
   }
