Something to keep in mind is that if we go the
testresources/OptimisingTestSuite route (which I think we are, but I'd
like to know if we do have a consensus for this) then as I understand
things we'll need to factor out setUpClass and tearDownClass as they are
not compatible with OptimisingTestSuite and instead replace them with
fixtures (there is a testresources.FixtureResource). 

This means we can better share resources across classes but there is
some work required to convert what is currently done in setUpClass to
fixtures. I'm happy to work on this, I'd just like to know there is a
consensus to do so.

Regards,

Chris
