/**
 * Annotation to assign a small test size qualifier to a test. This annotation can be used at a
 * method or class level.
 *
 * <p>Test size qualifiers are a great way to structure test code and are used to assign a test to a
 * test suite of similar run time.
 *
 * <p>Execution time: &lt;200ms
 *
 * <p>Small tests should be run very frequently. Focused on units of code to verify specific logical
 * conditions. These tests should runs in an isolated environment and use mock objects for external
 * dependencies. Resource access (such as file system, network, or databases) are not permitted.
 * Tests that interact with hardware, make binder calls, or that facilitate android instrumentation
 * should not use this annotation.
 *
 * <p>Note: This class replaces the deprecated Android platform size qualifier <a
 * href="http://developer.android.com/reference/android/test/suitebuilder/annotation/SmallTest.html">
 * android.test.suitebuilder.annotation.SmallTest</a> and is the recommended way to annotate tests
 * written with the AndroidX Test Library.
