Proposal - Add new event methods to Test Framework

[chapmandu]

New methods:

beforeAll() - executes once per request before the first has run
afterAll() - executes once per request after all tests have finished
packageSetup() - executes once per package before the first has run (and before setup()
packageTeardown() - executes once per package after tests have run (after teardown())

So in this sequence...

beforeAll()

/* Foo.cfc package */
packageSetup()

setup()
test_something()
teardown()

setup()
test_something_else()
teardown()

packageTeardown()
// end Foo.cfc

/* Bar.cfc package */
packageSetup()

setup()
test_something()
teardown()

packageTeardown()
// end Bar.cfc

afterAll()

• beforeAll()
• afterAll()
• packageSetup()
• packageTeardown()
• Document new functions
• Document tests request lifecycle (order of function execution)
• Document processAction()
• Document getRedirect()
• Document format parameter [html|junit|json]

Yes, great idea; This would really help tracking down those really odd caching things in-between tests which occasionally crop up too.
