/**
 * Defines that the target should operate within the context of the referenced deployment.
 * <p>
 * When using multiple {@link Deployment}'s within the same TestCase you need to specify which deployment the
 * individual test methods should operate on.
 * <p>
 * Within the context of a deployment you will have access to the meta data provided by the
 * deployment and the container where it is deployed, e.g. URLs
 * <p>
 * Usage Example for test method:<br/>
 * <pre><code>
 * @Deployment(name = "X")
 * public static WebArchive create() {
 *      return ShrinkWrap.create(WebArchive.class)
 *          .addClass(MyServletX.class);
 * }
 *
 * @Deployment(name = "Y")
 * public static WebArchive create() {
 *      return ShrinkWrap.create(WebArchive.class)
 *          .addClass(MyServletY.class);
 * }
 *
 * @Test @OperatesOnDeployment("X")
 * public void shouldExecuteInX() { ... }
 *
 * @Test @OperatesOnDeployment("Y")
 * public void shouldExecuteInY() { ... }
 * </code></pre>
 * <p>
 * Additionally you can reference another deployments metadata from within another context by qualifiing
 * OperateOnDeployment on ArquillianResource injection points.
 * <p>
 * <p>
 * Usage Example for ArquillianResource:<br/>
 * <pre><code>
 * @Deployment(name = "X")
 * public static WebArchive create() {
 *      return ShrinkWrap.create(WebArchive.class)
 *          .addClass(MyServletX.class);
 * }
 * @Deployment(name = "Y")
 * public static WebArchive create() {
 *      return ShrinkWrap.create(WebArchive.class)
 *          .addClass(MyServletY.class);
 * }
 *
 * @Test @OperatesOnDeployment("X")
 * public void shouldExecuteInX() { ... }
 *
 * @Test @OperatesOnDeployment("Y") @RunAsClient
 * public void shouldExecuteInY(@ArquillianResource @OperateOnDeployment("X") URL deploymentXURLContext) { ... }
 * </code></pre>
