 * A <code>Runner</code> runs tests and notifies a {@link org.junit.runner.notification.RunNotifier}
 * of significant events as it does so. You will need to subclass <code>Runner</code>
 * when using {@link org.junit.runner.RunWith} to invoke a custom runner. When creating
 * a custom runner, in addition to implementing the abstract methods here you must
 * also provide a constructor that takes as an argument the {@link Class} containing
 * the tests.
 *
 * <p>The default runner implementation guarantees that the instances of the test case
 * class will be constructed immediately before running the test and that the runner
 * will retain no reference to the test case instances, generally making them
 * available for garbage collection.
