Basic setup teardown functionality

[vkolgi]

I would like to add basic setup teardown functionality to the tests.
I have a working code which checks if there is a setup, teardown function is defined it calls them before the execution, which is similar to the other unit test frameworks.
Any thoughts on this ? If we have to support for suite level setup teardown what should be the preferred approach ?

I think we could maybe add two functions setup() and teardown() in the beginning and end of the test function. So it could be something like this

var noop = function (){};

var setupTest = noop;
var tearDownTest = noop;

function test(title, f, options) {
  if (typeof TUNEUP_ONLY_RUN !== 'undefined') {
    for (var i = 0; i < TUNEUP_ONLY_RUN.length; i++) {
        if (new RegExp("^" + TUNEUP_ONLY_RUN[i] + "$").test(title)) {
          break;
        }
        if (i == TUNEUP_ONLY_RUN.length -1) {
          return;
        }
    }
  }

  if (!options) {
    options = testCreateDefaultOptions();
  }
  target = UIATarget.localTarget();
  application = target.frontMostApp();
  UIALogger.logStart(title);
  try {
    setupTest();
    f(target, application);
    UIALogger.logPass(title);
    tearDownTest();
  }
  catch (e) {
    UIALogger.logError(e.toString());
    if (options.logStackTrace) UIALogger.logError(e.stack);
    if (options.logTree) target.logElementTree();
    if (options.logTreeJSON) application.mainWindow().logElementTreeJSON();
    if (options.screenCapture) target.captureScreenWithName(title + '-fail');
    UIALogger.logFail(title);
  }
}

In documentation we could ask them to modify setupTest() and tearDownTest() so that the function is overridden for the test or group of tests in a single file. If it sounds good I can create a pull request with the above mentioned functionality.

Hi @anoopknayak,
This requires few more checks where traditional setupTest or tearDownTest if fails, the test won't run, but we should log it properly that fixture failed. Please go ahead and raise a pull request with your changes and I shall review.
