28. Set Up Test Data for an Entire Test Class
 You can reduce test execution times especially when you’re working
with many records. Test setup methods enable you to create common
test data easily and efficiently. By setting up records once for the class,
you don’t need to re-create records for each test method. If a test class
contains a test setup method, the testing framework executes the test
setup method first, before any test method in the class. Records that
are created in a test setup method are available to all test methods in
the test class and are rolled back at the end of test class execution.
