TestInitialize execution order

This was brought to my attention and I was blown away by the fact that somebody would mark classes as TestClass without any tests in them just to reuse some setup code. And that they then make any assumptions on in which order the methods are called. If you really want to do that the constructor is a great place for that and that is also why prefer xUnit.Net which does not have a TestInitialize through attributes but actually use the constructor instead. But I actually think it is better if you're more explicit about how you initialize your tests than relying on an order just defined by the order in which base classes are called by default. In general I believe the consensus is that composition is superior to inheritance when it comes to code reuse which is why you should not put yourself in a situation where you rely on execution order between base and child classes.
