JUnit is a unit testing framework for Java, created by Erich Gamma and Kent Beck.
There is a newer version: 4.13.2

/**
 * The {@code RuleChain} can be used for creating composite rules. You create a
 * {@code RuleChain} with {@link #outerRule(TestRule)} and subsequent calls of
 * {@link #around(TestRule)}:
 *
 *  * public abstract class CompositeRules {
 *   public static TestRule extendedLogging() {
 *     return RuleChain.outerRule(new LoggingRule("outer rule"))
 *                     .around(new LoggingRule("middle rule"))
 *                     .around(new LoggingRule("inner rule"));
 *   }
 * }
 * 
 *
 *  * public class UseRuleChain {
 *   @Rule
 *   public final TestRule extendedLogging = CompositeRules.extendedLogging();
 *
 *   @Test
 *   public void example() {
 *     assertTrue(true);
 *   }
 * }
 * 
 *
 * writes the log
 *
 *  * starting outer rule
 * starting middle rule
 * starting inner rule
 * finished inner rule
 * finished middle rule
 * finished outer rule
 * 
 *
 * In older versions of JUnit (before 4.13) {@code RuleChain} was used for
 * ordering rules. We recommend to not use it for this purpose anymore. You can
 * use the attribute {@code order} of the annotation {@link Rule#order() Rule}
 * or {@link org.junit.ClassRule#order() ClassRule} for ordering rules.
 *
 * @see org.junit.Rule#order()
 * @see org.junit.ClassRule#order()
