    # as a class method
    $class->run_tests();
    $class->run_tests($description);
    $class->run_tests($init_args);
    $class->run_tests($description $init_args);

    # as an object method
    $self->run_tests();
    $self->run_tests($description);

If called as a class method, this creates a test object using an optional hash reference of initialization arguments.

When called as an object method, or after an object has been generated, this method sets an optional description and runs tests. It will call the "setup" method (triggering any method modifiers), will run all tests (triggering any method modifiers on "each_test") and will call the "teardown" method (triggering any method modifiers).

If a description is provided, it will override any initialized or generated "description" attribute.

The setup, tests and teardown will be executed in a Test::More subtest block.

each_test

It may also be used to anchor modifiers that should run before or after each test block, though this can lead to brittle design as modifiers will globally affect every test block, including composed ones.
