+/**
+ * A TimingController is a interface that a test that is aware of the fact that it is being timed can use to manage
+ * the timer. Using this interface tests can suspend and resume test timers. This is usefull if you want to exclude
+ * some expensive preparation from being timed as part of a test. In general when timing tests to measure the
+ * performance of code, you should try to set up data in the #setUp where possible, or as static members in the test
+ * class. This is not always convenient, this interface gives you a way to suspend and resume, or event completely
+ * restart test timers, to get accurate measurements.
+ *
+ * <p/>The interface can also be used to register multiple test pass/fails and timings from a single test method.
+ * In some cases it is easier to write tests in this way. For example a concurrent and asynchronous test may make
+ * many asynchronous requests and then wait for replies to all its requests. Writing such a test with one send/reply
+ * per test method and trying to scale up using many threads will quickly run into limitations if more than about
+ * 100 asynchronous calls need to be made at once. A better way to write such a test is as a single method that sends
+ * many (perhaps thousands or millions) and waits for replies in two threads, one for send, one for replies. It can
+ * then log pass/fails and timings on each individual reply as they come back in, even though the test has been written
+ * to send thousands of requests per test method in order to do volume testing.
+ *
+ * <p/>If when the {@link #completeTest(boolean)} is called, the test runner decides that testing should stop (perhaps
+ * because a duration test has expired), it throws an InterruptedException to indicate that the test method should stop
+ * immediately. The test method can do this by allowing this exception to fall through, if no other clean-up handling
+ * is necessary, or it can simply return as soon as it possibly can. The test runner will still call the tearDown
+ * method in the usual way when this happens.
+ *
+ * <p/>Below are some examples of how this can be used. Not how checking that the timing controller is really available
+ * rather than assuming it is, means that the test can run as an ordinary JUnit test under the default test runners. In
+ * general code should be written to take advantage of the extended capabilities of junit toolkit, without assuming they
+ * are going to be run under its test runner.
+ *

+ * public class MyTest extends TestCase implements TimingControllerAware {
+ * ...
