/**
 * <p>
 * Abstract base test class which integrates the
 * <em>Spring TestContext Framework with explicit
 * {@link ApplicationContext} testing support in a <strong>JUnit 4.4
 * environment.
 * </p>
 * <p>
 * Concrete subclasses should typically declare a class-level
 * {@link ContextConfiguration @ContextConfiguration} annotation to configure
 * the {@link ApplicationContext application context}
 * {@link ContextConfiguration#locations() resource locations}.
 * <em>If your test does not need to load an application context, you may choose
 * to omit the {@link ContextConfiguration @ContextConfiguration} declaration
 * and to configure the appropriate
 * {@link org.springframework.test.context.TestExecutionListener TestExecutionListeners}
 * manually.</em>
 * </p>
 * <p>
 * Note: this class serves only as a convenience for extension. If you do not
 * wish for your test classes to be tied to a Spring-specific class hierarchy,
 * you may configure your own custom test classes by using
 * {@link SpringJUnit4ClassRunner},
 * {@link ContextConfiguration @ContextConfiguration},
 * {@link TestExecutionListeners @TestExecutionListeners}, etc.
 * </p>
