how to set up resources for tests

[Stefan Seefeld]

I'm working with a test database that uses a set
of executables to process input files. While the
test in itself is the processing of such an input
file, all these tests require the executables to
be built first.
I'm thus thinking of managing the compilation
of those executables by 'Resource' instances.
However, I can't find any documentation about
the API that I have to use in my test database
and test classes to define these resources
and the dependencies the test instances have
on them.
Could anybody help with pointers or references ?

Thanks,
