You are working on a codebase with some <del>lazy</del> <del>inept</del> questionable decisions from external forces. You are given a class to work on. For the purposes of this post let’s call it <code>MyClass</code>.</p> <p>The class will have its methods invoked in the following order:</p> <ol> <li><code>MyClass()</code> i.e. the constructor.</li> <li><code>setup(…)</code></li> <li><code>run(…)</code></li> <li><code>teardown()</code></li> <li>Repeat 2-4 many times.</li> <li><code>~MyClass()</code> i.e. the destructor.</li> </ol> <p>This class will be reused in multiple different scenarios repeatedly, with different input data.</p>
