/**
* <p>
* Test annotation to indicate that a test method <em>dirties</em> the context
* for the current test.
* </p>
* <p>
* Using this annotation in conjunction with
* {@link AbstractAnnotationAwareTransactionalTests} is less error-prone than
* calling
* {@link org.springframework.test.AbstractSingleSpringContextTests#setDirty() setDirty()}
* explicitly because the call to <code>setDirty()</code> is guaranteed to
* occur, even if the test failed. If only a particular code path in the test
* dirties the context, prefer calling <code>setDirty()</code> explicitly --
* and take care!
