Call Super Anti-pattern
The Call Super anti-pattern shows up occasionally in object oriented code.
Any time an inherited class overrides a method and is required to call super() first, that is a case of this anti-pattern. It is not a good idea to require something else being called first.
{ public class TestCase
public void setup() { doStuff(); }
public class TestCaseOne extends TestCase
public void handle() { super.setup(); setupForTCOne(); }
}
