originating from the test content at the corresponding level. Since both TestCase and

Fixture instances inherit from the handle class, you add these listeners using the

addlistener method. The methods that set up, run and tear down test content extend

the way the TestRunner evaluates the test content.

Extending Test Level Plugin Methods

The TestRunnerPlugin methods at the test level extend the creation, setup, run, and

teardown of a single test suite element. A single test element consists of one test method

or, if the test is parameterized, one instance of the test’s parameterization.

Type of Method Test Level Falls Within Scope of runTest

creation method createTestMethodInstance

setup method setupTestMethod

run method runTestMethod

teardown method teardownTestMethod

At this level, the createTestMethodInstance method is the only plugin method with

an output argument. It returns the TestCase instances created for each Test element.

The test framework passes each of these instances into corresponding Test methods, and

into any methods with the TestMethodSetup or TestMethodTeardown attribute.

The test framework evaluates methods at the test level within the scope of the runTest

method. Provided the test framework completes all TestMethodSetup work, it invokes

the plugin methods in this level a single time per test element.

Extending Test Class Level Plugin Methods

The TestRunnerPlugin methods at the test class level extend the creation, setup, run,

and teardown of test suite elements that belong to the same test class or the same

function-based test. These methods apply to a subset of the full TestSuite that the

TestRunner runs.
