## Annotation Type TestOnly

-     @Documented
      @Retention(CLASS)
      @Target({METHOD,CONSTRUCTOR,FIELD,TYPE})
      public @interface TestOnly

  A member or type annotated with TestOnly claims that it should be used from testing code only.

  Apart from documentation purposes this annotation is intended to be used by static analysis tools to validate against element contract violations.

  This annotation means that the annotated element exposes internal data and breaks encapsulation of the containing class; the annotation won't prevent its use from production code, developers even won't see warnings if their IDE doesn't support the annotation. It's better to provide proper API which can be used in production as well as in tests.
