Annotation Type OnceBefore

@Retention(value=RUNTIME)
@Target(value=METHOD)
public @interface OnceBefore

Designates a method to be called only once, just before the start of the benchmark run. It is always called from global thread 0 for the given driver. No other thread will be started until this method finishes. Note that only one method is allowed for the OnceBefore designation. If Faban finds more than one method with the OnceBefore annotation, it will throw a DefinitionException at startup.

The OnceBefore and OnceAfter annotations are used mainly for auditing the state of the SUT before and after the benchmark run. A CustomMetrics shall be used to report the audit results.
