== Why is this an issue?

Overriding a parent class method prevents that method from being called unless an explicit ``++super++`` call is made in the overriding method. In some cases not calling the ``++super++`` method is acceptable, but not with ``++setUp++`` and ``++tearDown++`` in a JUnit 3 ``++TestCase++``.


=== Noncompliant code example

[source,java]
----
public class MyClassTest extends MyAbstractTestCase {

  private MyClass myClass;
    @Override
    protected void setUp() throws Exception {  // Noncompliant
      myClass = new MyClass();
    }
----


=== Compliant solution

[source,java]
----
public class MyClassTest extends MyAbstractTestCase {

  private MyClass myClass;
    @Override
    protected void setUp() throws Exception {
      super.setUp();
      myClass = new MyClass();
    }
