// The suite package contains logic for creating testing suite structs
// and running the methods on those structs as tests. The most useful
// piece of this package is that you can create setup/teardown methods
// on your testing suites, which will run before/after the whole suite
// or individual tests (depending on which interface(s) you
// implement).
//
// Once you've built your testing suite, you need to run the suite
// inside any function that matches the identity that "go test" is
// already looking for (i.e. func(*testing.T)).
//
// A crude example:
// // Basic imports
// import (
// "testing"
// "github.com/stretchr/testify/assert"
// "github.com/stretchr/testify/suite"
// )
//
// // Define the suite, and absorb the built-in basic suite
// // functionality from testify - including a T() method which
// // returns the current testing context
// type ExampleTestSuite struct {
// suite.Suite
// VariableThatShouldStartAtFive int
// }
//
// // Make sure that VariableThatShouldStartAtFive is set to five
// // before each test
// func (suite *ExampleTestSuite) SetupTest() {
// suite.VariableThatShouldStartAtFive = 5
// }
//
// // All methods that begin with "Test" are run as tests within a
// // suite.
// func (suite *ExampleTestSuite) TestExample() {
// assert.Equal(suite.T(), suite.VariableThatShouldStartAtFive, 5)
// }
//
// // In order for 'go test' to run this suite, we need to create
// // a normal test function and pass our suite to suite.Run
// func TestExampleTestSuite(t *testing.T) {
// suite.Run(t, new(ExampleTestSuite))
// }
