Tibor17 edited a comment on issue #234: (doc) add static modifier to signatures URL: https://github.com/apache/maven-surefire/pull/234#issuecomment-496024381 @pzygielo You are wrong. The `@Before` must not be static. Every test method must be isolated due to a new object of the test is created every time the test method is called. The data across test instances must not be shared. That's important detail in unit tests. That's why `setUp` and `tearDown` methods are not static. The same works in JUnit4 and the same works in POJO. IMO our implementation shares data which is a bug but another bug. The TestNG breaks this paradighm and there is one instance. So if you like sharing data and have random behavior then I would recommend using TestNG.
