This class represents a test class:

  
The test methods
  
The configuration methods (test and method)
  
The class file

Note that the methods returned by instances of this class are expected to be correct at runtime.
In other words, they might differ from what the ITestMethodFinder returned since ITestClass will
take into account the groups being included and excluded.
