How can I link @BeforeEach with @Test method using JUnit extensions?

The operative word in @BeforeEach is each. These methods run before each test, and aren't really suitable for the usecase you're describing. If you need such a tight coupling, I'd suggest to move away from JUnit annotations, and just call the setup methods directly:

public class BaseTest { void setUp1() {} void setUp2() {} } public class Test extends BaseTest { @Test void test1() { setUp1(); // test logic } @Test void test2() { setUp2(); // test logic } } 

In Junit 5 you have a new feature called Nested tests that allows you to have nested classes each with it's own BeforeAll and AfterAll. This requires a little bit of change to your classes hierarchy BaseTest.class and Test.class but works like a charm :

@Nested Denotes that the annotated class is a non-static nested test class. @BeforeAll and @AfterAll methods cannot be used directly in a @Nested test class unless the "per-class" test instance lifecycle is used. Such annotations are not inherited.

This is not possible like this. There are some other options you could consider:

• Put setup2() and test2() in another test class. Since test1 and test2 do not share the setup ("fixture") they should be in separate classes anyway.
• Remove the @BeforeEach annotation and call the setup methods explicitly at the start of the actual test methods.

You don't need to put test set up code only in @BeforeEach annotated methods. You can put it in the @Test method or (perhaps better) in a method called from the @Test method.
