/**
 * Trait that causes that the tests of any suite it is mixed into to be run in parallel if
 * a Distributor is passed to runTests.
 *
 * 

 * ScalaTest's normal approach for running suites of tests in parallel is to run different suites in parallel,
 * but the tests of any one suite sequentially. This approach should provide sufficient distribution of the work load
 * in most cases, but some suites may encapsulate multiple long-running tests. Such suites may dominate the execution
 * time of the run. If so, mixing in this trait into just those suites will allow their long-running tests to run in parallel with each
 * other, thereby helping to reduce the total time required to run an entire run.
 * 
 *
 * 

 * To make it easier for users to write tests that run in parallel, this trait runs each test in its own instance of the class.
 * Running each test in its own instance enables tests to use the same instance vars and mutable objects referenced from
 * instance variables without needing to synchronize. Although ScalaTest provides functional approaches to
 * factoring out common test code that can help avoid such issues, running each test in its own instance is an insurance policy that makes 
 * running tests in parallel easier and less error prone.
 * 
 *
 * 

 * For the details on how ParallelTestExecution works, see the documentation for methods run, runTests, and runTest,
 * which this trait overrides.
 * 
 *
 * 

 * Note: This trait's implementation of runTest is final, to ensure that behavior
 * related to individual tests are executed by the same thread that executes the actual test. This means,
 * for example, that you won't be allowed to write ...with ParallelTestExecution with BeforeAndAfter.
 * Instead, you'd need to put ParallelTestExecution last, as
 * in: with BeforeAndAfter with ParallelTestExecution. For more details, see the documentation
 * for the runTest method.

   * and args object.
   * 
   *
   * 

   * If args.distributor is defined, then it uses the args.runTestInNewInstance
   * flag to decide what to do. If runTestInNewInstance
   * is true, this is the general instance responsible for running all tests, so
   * it first notifies args.distributedTestSorter (if defined) that it is
   * distributing this test by invoking distributingTest on it, passing in the
   * testName. Then it wraps a new instance of this class, obtained by invoking
   * newInstance in a suite whose run method will ensure that only the test whose
   * name was passed to this method as testName is executed. Finally, this trait's
   * implementation of this method submits this wrapper suite to the distributor.
   * 
   *
   * 

   * If runTestInNewInstance is false, this is the test-specific (distributed)
   * instance, so this trait's implementation of this method simply invokes super.runTest,
   * passing along the same testName and args object, delegating responsibility
   * for actually running the test to the super implementation. After super.runTest returns
   * (or completes abruptly by throwing an exception), it notifies args.distributedTestSorter
   * (if defined) that it has completed running the test by invoking completedTest on it,
   * passing in the testName.

   *
   * 

   * Note: this trait's implementation of this method is final to ensure that
   * any other desired runTest behavior is executed by the same thread that executes
   * the test. For example, if you were to mix in BeforeAndAfter after
   * ParallelTestExecution, the before and after code would
   * be executed by the general instance on the main test thread, rather than by the test-specific
   * instance on the distributed thread. Marking this method final ensures that
   * traits like BeforeAndAfter can only be "super" to ParallelTestExecution
   * and, therefore, that its before and after code will be run
   * by the same distributed thread that runs the test itself.

  /**
   * Construct a new instance of this Suite.
   *
   * 

   * This trait's implementation of runTests invokes this method to create
   * a new instance of this Suite for each test. This trait's implementation
   * of this method uses reflection to call this.getClass.newInstance. This
   * approach will succeed only if this Suite's class has a public, no-arg
   * constructor. In most cases this is likely to be true, because to be instantiated
   * by ScalaTest's Runner a Suite needs a public, no-arg
   * constructor. However, this will not be true of any Suite defined as
   * an inner class of another class or trait, because every constructor of an inner
   * class type takes a reference to the enclosing instance. In such cases, and in
   * cases where a Suite class is explicitly defined without a public,
   * no-arg constructor, you will need to override this method to construct a new
   * instance of the Suite in some other way.
   * 
   *
   * 

   * Here's an example of how you could override newInstance to construct
   * a new instance of an inner class:
   * 
   *
   * 
   * import org.scalatest.Suite
   *
   * class Outer {
   *   class InnerSuite extends Suite with ParallelTestExecution {
   *     def testOne() {}
   *     def testTwo() {}
   *     override def newInstance = new InnerSuite
   *   }

   * The default implementation of this method returns the value specified via -T to
