/**
 * Parses test result files and builds in-memory representation of it as {@link TestResult}.
 *
 * 
 * This extension point encapsulates the knowledge of a particular test report format and its parsing process,
 * thereby improving the pluggability of test result parsing; integration with a new test tool can be done
 * by just writing a parser, without writing a custom {@link hudson.tasks.Publisher}, and the test reports are displayed
 * with the default UI and recognized by the rest of Hudson as test reports.
 *
 * 

 * Most typical implementations of this class should extend from {@link DefaultTestResultParserImpl},
 * which handles a set of default error checks on user inputs. 
 *
 * 

 * Parsers are stateless, and the {@link #parse(String, hudson.model.AbstractBuild, hudson.Launcher, hudson.model.TaskListener)} method
 * can be concurrently invoked by multiple threads for different builds.
 *
 * @since 1.343
 * @see DefaultTestResultParserImpl

     * The implementation is encouraged to do the following:
     *
     * 

     * 
     * If the build is successful but GLOB didn't match anything, report that as an error. This is
     * to detect the error in GLOB. But don't do this if the build has already failed (for example,
     * think of a failure in SCM checkout.)
     *
     * 

     * Examine time stamp of test report files and if those are younger than the build, ignore them.
     * This is to ignore test reports created by earlier executions. Take the possible timestamp
     * difference in the master/slave into account.
     * 
     *
     * @param testResultLocations
     *      GLOB pattern relative to the {@linkplain hudson.model.AbstractBuild#getWorkspace() workspace} that
     *      specifies the locations of the test result files. Never null.
     * @param build
     *      Build for which these tests are parsed. Never null.
     * @param launcher
     *      Can be used to fork processes on the machine where the build is running. Never null.
     * @param listener
     *      Use this to report progress and other problems. Never null.
     *
     * @throws InterruptedException
     *      If the user cancels the build, it will be received as a thread interruption. Do not catch
     *      it, and instead just forward that through the call stack.
     * @throws IOException
     *      If you don't care about handling exceptions gracefully, you can just throw IOException
     *      and let the default exception handling in Hudson takes care of it.
     * @throws hudson.AbortException
     *      If you encounter an error that you handled gracefully, throw this exception and Hudson
     *      will not show a stack trace.
