> Often, there is one test method per test case. JUnit allows a test class to be more flexible: It may generate a test suite at test run time, which may contain any number of tests.
> JUnit has traditionally required
>    * a {{public static suite()}} method
>    * returning {{junit.framework.Test}} (or some type, such as {{TestSuite}}, that can be cast to {{Test}} ).
> In addition to these JUnit requirements, Surefire imposes one more requirement:
>   * the class that contains the {{suite()}} method needs to itself implement {{junit.framework.Test}} .
> If that additional requirement is not met, the {{suite()}} method is not called, but silently ignored.
> Surefire should not impose this additional requirement, but call any {{suite()}} method that returns something that can be cast to {{junit.framework.Test}} , in any test class.
