/**
 * Exception thrown to indicate a test is pending.
 *
 * 

* A pending test is one that has been given a name but is not yet implemented. The purpose of * pending tests is to facilitate a style of testing in which documentation of behavior is sketched * out before tests are written to verify that behavior (and often, the before the behavior of * the system being tested is itself implemented). Such sketches form a kind of specification of * what tests and functionality to implement later. *

* *

* To support this style of testing, a test can be given a name that specifies one * bit of behavior required by the system being tested. The test can also include some code that * sends more information about the behavior to the reporter when the tests run. At the end of the test, * it can call method pending, which will cause it to complete abruptly with TestPendingException. * Because tests in ScalaTest can be designated as pending with TestPendingException, both the test name and any information * sent to the reporter when running the test can appear in the report of a test run. (In other words, * the code of a pending test is executed just like any other test.) However, because the test completes abruptly * with TestPendingException, the test will be reported as pending, to indicate * the actual test, and possibly the functionality, has not yet been implemented. *
