/**
 * {@code @Suite} marks a class as a test suite on the JUnit Platform.
 *
 * <p>Selector and filter annotations are used to control the contents of the
 * suite. Additionally configuration can be passed to the suite via the
 * configuration annotations.
 *
 * <p>When the {@link IncludeClassNamePatterns @IncludeClassNamePatterns}
 * annotation is not present, the default include pattern
 * {@value org.junit.platform.engine.discovery.ClassNameFilter#STANDARD_INCLUDE_PATTERN}
 * will be used in order to avoid loading classes unnecessarily (see {@link
 * org.junit.platform.engine.discovery.ClassNameFilter#STANDARD_INCLUDE_PATTERN
 * ClassNameFilter#STANDARD_INCLUDE_PATTERN}).
 *
 * <p>By default a suite discovers tests using the configuration parameters
 * explicitly configured by {@link ConfigurationParameter @ConfigurationParameter}
 * and the configuration parameters from the discovery request that discovered
 * the suite. Annotating a suite with
 * {@link DisableParentConfigurationParameters @DisableParentConfigurationParameters}
 * annotation disables the latter as a source of parameters so that only explicit
 * configuration parameters are taken into account.
