/**
 * {@code @BeforeAll} is used to signal that the annotated method should be
 * executed before all tests in the current test class.
 *
 * In contrast to {@link BeforeEach @BeforeEach} methods, {@code @BeforeAll}
 * methods are only executed once for a given test class.
 *
 * 
Method Signatures
 *
 * {@code @BeforeAll} methods must have a {@code void} return type,
 * must not be {@code private}, and must be {@code static} by default.
 * Consequently, {@code @BeforeAll} methods are not
 * supported in {@link Nested @Nested} test classes or as interface default
 * methods unless the test class is annotated with
 * {@link TestInstance @TestInstance(Lifecycle.PER_CLASS)}. {@code @BeforeAll}
 * methods may optionally declare parameters to be resolved by
 * {@link org.junit.jupiter.api.extension.ParameterResolver ParameterResolvers}.
 *
 * Inheritance
 *
 * {@code @BeforeAll} methods are inherited from superclasses as long as
 * they are not shadowed. Furthermore, {@code @BeforeAll} methods from
 * superclasses will be executed before {@code @BeforeAll} methods in subclasses.
 *
 * 
Composition
 *
 * {@code @BeforeAll} may be used as a meta-annotation in order to create
 * a custom composed annotation that inherits the semantics of
 * {@code @BeforeAll}.
