Hi Ivan,

These methods are called from within GridAbstractTest in exactly same
sequence as they were called in the past from JUnit 3 TestCase class.

This is by the way the reason why these methods should not be annotated with
Before* / After* - because if someone does that then method will be called
twice, once from JUnit 4 framework and one more time from GridAbstractTest.

regards, Oleg
