/**
* This class allows the user to choose the order of execution of the methods within a test class.
*
* The default order of execution of JUnit tests within a class is deterministic but not predictable.
* The order of execution is not guaranteed for Java 7 (and some previous versions), and can even change
* from run to run, so the order of execution was changed to be deterministic (in JUnit 4.11)
*
*
It is recommended that test methods be written so that they are independent of the order that they are executed.
* However, there may be a number of dependent tests either through error or by design.
* This class allows the user to specify the order of execution of test methods.
*
*
For possibilities, see {@link MethodSorters}
*
* Here is an example:
*
*
* @FixMethodOrder(MethodSorters.NAME_ASCENDING)
* public class MyTest {
* }
*
*
* @see org.junit.runners.MethodSorters
* @since 4.11
