java.lang.String name()
```
    A human-friendly name of the test framework that this object represents.
  - fingerprints

Fingerprint[] fingerprints()
```
    An array of Fingerprints that specify how to identify test classes during discovery.
  - runner
```
Runner runner(java.lang.String[] args,
              java.lang.String[] remoteArgs,
              java.lang.ClassLoader testClassLoader)
```
    Initiates a run.
    If a client invokes this method before a previously initiated run has completed, the test framework may throw IllegalStateExceptionto indicate it cannot perform the two runs concurrently.
    
    Parameters:
    
    args - the test-framework-specific arguments for the new run
    
    remoteArgs - the test-framework-specific remote arguments for the run in a forked JVM
    
    testClassLoader - a class loader to use when loading test classes during the run
    
    Returns:
    
    a Runner representing the newly started run.
    
    Throws:
    
    java.lang.IllegalStateException - if the test framework is unable to initiate a run because it is already performing a previously initiated run that has not yet completed.
