of any shared resource, or, if they do modify the state, they must restore the
state to its original value before passing control to the next test.
Note that `SetUpTestSuite()` may be called multiple times for a test fixture
class that has derived classes, so you should not expect code in the function
body to be run only once. Also, derived classes still have access to shared
resources defined as static members, so careful consideration is needed when
managing shared resources to avoid memory leaks.
Here's an example of per-test-suite set-up and tear-down:
```c++
