/**
* A test case defines the fixture to run multiple tests. To define a test case<br>
* 1) implement a subclass of TestCase<br>
* 2) define instance variables that store the state of the fixture<br>
* 3) initialize the fixture state by overriding <code>setUp</code><br>
* 4) clean-up after a test by overriding <code>tearDown</code>.<br>
* Each test runs in its own fixture so there
* can be no side effects among test runs.
* Here is an example:
* <pre>
* public class MathTest extends TestCase {
* protected double fValue1;
* protected double fValue2;
*
* protected void setUp() {
* fValue1= 2.0;
* fValue2= 3.0;
* }
* }
* </pre>
*
* For each test implement a method which interacts
* with the fixture. Verify the expected results with assertions specified
* by calling <code>assertTrue</code> with a boolean.
* <pre>
* public void testAdd() {
* double result= fValue1 + fValue2;
* assertTrue(result == 5.0);
* }
* </pre>
* Once the methods are defined you can run them. The framework supports
* both a static type safe and more dynamic way to run a test.
* In the static way you override the runTest method and define the method to
* be invoked. A convenient way to do so is with an anonymous inner class.
* <pre>
* TestCase test= new MathTest("add") {
* public void runTest() {
* testAdd();
* }
* };
* test.run();
* </pre>
* The dynamic way uses reflection to implement <code>runTest</code>. It dynamically finds
* and invokes a method.
* In this case the name of the test case has to correspond to the test method
* to be run.
* <pre>
* TestCase= new MathTest("testAdd");
* test.run();
* </pre>
* The tests to be run can be collected into a TestSuite. JUnit provides
* different <i>test runners</i> which can run a test suite and collect the results.
* A test runner either expects a static method <code>suite</code> as the entry
* point to get a test to run or it will extract the suite automatically.
* <pre>
* public static Test suite() {
* suite.addTest(new MathTest("testAdd"));
* suite.addTest(new MathTest("testDivideByZero"));
* return suite;
* }
* </pre>
* @see TestResult
* @see TestSuite
