/**
 * <p>
 * Test annotation to indicate that a test method <em>dirties the context
 * for the current test.
 * </p>
 * <p>
 * Using this annotation in conjunction with
 * {@link AbstractAnnotationAwareTransactionalTests} is less error-prone than
 * calling
 * {@link org.springframework.test.AbstractSingleSpringContextTests#setDirty() setDirty()}
 * explicitly because the call to <code>setDirty() is guaranteed to
 * occur, even if the test failed. If only a particular code path in the test
 * dirties the context, prefer calling <code>setDirty() explicitly --
 * and take care!
