/**
* This class is used to alter the list of test methods that TestNG is about to run.
*
*
*
* An instance of this class will be invoked right before TestNG starts invoking test methods.
* Only methods that have no dependents and that don't depend on any other test methods will
* be passed in parameter. Implementers of this interface need to return a list of {@link IMethodInstance}
* that represents the list of test methods they want run. TestNG will run these methods in the
* same order found in the returned value.
*
*
*
* Typically, the returned list will be just the methods passed in parameter but sorted
* differently, but it can actually have any size (it can be empty, it can be of the
* same size as the original list or it can contain more methods).
*
*
*
* The {@link ITestContext} is passed in the intercept method so that implementers can set user values
* (using {@link ITestContext#setAttribute(String, Object)}), which they can then look up
* later while generating the reports.
