/**
 * A bundle of information about the current test.
 *
 * 
 * A TestData object is passed to the withFixture methods of traits Suite and fixture.Suite
 * (both NoArgTest and OneArgTest
 * extend TestData) and to the beforeEach and afterEach
 * methods of trait BeforeAndAfterEach. This enables fixtures and tests to make use
 * of the test name and configuration objects in the config map.
 * 
 *
 * 
 * In ScalaTest's event model, a test may be surrounded by “scopes.” Each test and scope is associated with string of text.
 * A test's name is a concatenation of the text of any surrounding scopes followed by the text provided with the test
 * itself, after each text element has been trimmed and one space inserted between each component. Here's an example:
 * 
 *
 *  * package org.scalatest.examples.freespec
 * 
 * import org.scalatest.FreeSpec
 * 
 * class SetSpec extends FreeSpec {
 * 
 *   "A Set" - {
 *     "when empty" - {
 *       "should have size 0" in {
 *         assert(Set.empty.size === 0)
 *       }
 *       
 *       "should produce NoSuchElementException when head is invoked" in {
 *         intercept[NoSuchElementException] {
 *           Set.empty.head
 *         }
 *       }
 *     }
 *   }
 * }
 * 
 *
 * 
 * The above FreeSpec contains two tests, both nested inside the same two scopes. The outermost scope names
 * the subject, A Set. The nested scope qualifies the subject with when empty. Inside that
 * scope are the two tests. The text of the tests are:
 * 

 *
 * 

 * should have size 0
 * should produce NoSuchElementException when head is invoked
 * 
 *
 * 
 * Therefore, the names of these two tests are:
 * 
 *
 * 
 * A Stack when empty should have size 0
 * A Stack when empty should produce NoSuchElementException when head is invoked
 * 
 *
 * 
 * The TestData instance for the first test would contain:
 * 
 *
 * 
 * name: "A Stack when empty should have size 0"
 * scopes: collection.immutable.IndexedSeq("A Stack", "when empty")
 * text: "should have size 0"
 *
