/**
 * <p>The <code>Test</code> annotation tells JUnit that the <code>public void</code> method
 * to which it is attached can be run as a test case. To run the method,
 * JUnit first constructs a fresh instance of the class then invokes the
 * annotated method. Any exceptions thrown by the test will be reported
 * by JUnit as a failure. If no exceptions are thrown, the test is assumed
 * to have succeeded.</p>
 *
 * <p>A simple test looks like this:
 * <pre>
 * public class Example {
 *    <b>&#064;Test</b>
 *    public void method() {
 *       org.junit.Assert.assertTrue( new ArrayList().isEmpty() );
 *    }
 * }
 * </pre>
 * </p>
 *
 * <p>The <code>Test</code> annotation supports two optional parameters.
 * The first, <code>expected</code>, declares that a test method should throw
 * an exception. If it doesn't throw an exception or if it throws a different exception
 * than the one declared, the test fails. For example, the following test succeeds:
 * <pre>
 *    &#064;Test(<b>expected=IndexOutOfBoundsException.class</b>) public void outOfBounds() {
 *       new ArrayList&lt;Object&gt;().get(1);
 *    }
 * </pre></p>
 *
 * <p>The second optional parameter, <code>timeout</code>, causes a test to fail if it takes
 * longer than a specified amount of clock time (measured in milliseconds). The following test fails:
 * <pre>
 *    &#064;Test(<b>timeout=100</b>) public void infinity() {
 *       while(true);
 *    }
 * </pre></p>
 *
 * @since 4.0
