I used incorrect terminology in my previous description, so I want to clarify my previous points.

* SetupEnvironment(..) is for test programs [1].
* SetUp(..) [test fixture] is for test cases.

All of these setup APIs have analogs, i.e., teardown APIs.

In the next version of GoogleTest, they are adding an API called `SetUpTestSuite(..)`, which will allow one to save state common in a test suite, instead of having to do it per test case. The new API makes sense for long running setup/teardown routines, like initializing a database (which a test suite will use) or network server, from scratch.

Cheers!

1. This API isn’t documented on GitHub; I’ll submit a PR for it.
