PatternTesting Runtime (patterntesting-rt) is the runtime component for the PatternTesting framework. It provides the annotations and base classes for the PatternTesting testing framework (e.g. patterntesting-check, patterntesting-concurrent or patterntesting-exception) but can be also used standalone for classpath monitoring or profiling. It uses AOP and AspectJ to perform this feat.

There is a newer version: 2.5.0

/**
 * With this annotation you can mark methods which are public for testing but
 * which should *never* be called from outside, but only from test methods or
 * from the class itself.
 * 
 * This annotation is similar to @OnlyForTesting but it cannot be statically
 * checked. So you find it unter the check.runtime package.
