/**
 * <p>Sometimes you want to temporarily disable a test. Methods annotated with {@link org.junit.Test}
 * that are also annotated with <code>@Ignore</code> will not be executed as tests. Native JUnit 4 test runners
 * should report the number of ignored tests along with the number of tests that ran and the
 * number of tests that failed.</p>
 * 
 * For example:
 * <pre>
 *    @Ignore @Test public void something() { ...
 * </pre>
 * @Ignore takes an optional default parameter if you want to record why a test is being ignored:<br/>
 * <pre>
 *    @Ignore("not ready yet") @Test public void something() { ...
 * </pre>
