 * A test run starts with the call to {@link #sessionLaunched(ITestRunSession)} and 
 * {@link #sessionStarted(ITestRunSession)}, followed by calls to
 * {@link #testCaseStarted(ITestCaseElement)} and {@link #testCaseFinished(ITestCaseElement)}
 * for all test cases contained in the tree.
 * </p>
 * <p>
 * A test run session is ended with the call to {@link #sessionFinished(ITestRunSession)}. After that
 * call, no references must be kept to the session or any of the test cases or suites.
