 * Interface to be implemented by all Surefire providers.
 * <br>
 * NOTE: This class is part of the proposed public api for surefire providers for 2.7. It may
 * still be subject to changes, even for minor revisions.
 * <br>
 * The api covers this interface and all the types reachable from it. And nothing else.
 * <br>
 * <br>
 * Called in one of three ways:
 * Forkmode = never: getSuites is not called, invoke is called with null parameter
 * Forkmode = once: getSuites is not called, invoke is called with null parameter
 * Forkmode anything else: getSuites is called, invoke is called on new provider instance for each item in getSuites
 * response.
