> There are situations where it's convenient to load the tests into the current suite dynamically.
> You can then reuse the test framework specific integration tools like IDE integration, reporters and continuous integration
> to run the test logic even outside the Java ecosystem.
> ----
> Test frameworks doesn't have any generic integration points for this job.
> To allow Arquillian extension writers having as easy job as possible,
> SPI should be designed which would allow to register new tests in framework-specific test runners.
> ----
> SPI Proposal:
> Arquillian fires {{LocateChildren}} event to allow extension populate suite with "dynamic" tests.
> {{LocateChildren}} event can be populated with {{ChildTestClass}} (having many {{ChildTestMethod}}).
> Arquillian fires {{TestChild}} to allow extension invoke the use-case-specific test logic for each registered {{ChildTestMethod}}.
