Class Composers

For a test to execute, a class needs to exist. Before the class exists, the dependencies also need to exist, and ZeClassComposer is how it handles getting the dependencies. When a Fact is discovered, ZeUnit looks at the class type and identifies the lifecycle. Based on that lifecycle, it creates a class factory that the test runner can call to get a test class. When that test class has dependencies, ZeClassComposer classes become the sources for those dependencies.

The default lifecycles are inherited from:

• TransientSuite - The default class lifecycle that is automatically applied to test classes which inherit from a Suite class
• ReEntrySuite - Singleton lifecycle for the test class and as a result may require some tests to execute before others allowing the suite to be its own state machine
