/**
* Indicates that a spec's feature methods should be run sequentially
* in their declared order (even in the presence of a parallel spec runner),
* always starting from the first method. If a method fails, the remaining
* methods will be skipped. Feature methods declared in super- and subspecs
* are not affected.
*
* <p><tt>@Stepwise</tt> is useful for specs with
* (logical) dependencies between methods. In particular, it helps to avoid
* consecutive errors after a method has failed, which makes it easier to
* understand what really went wrong.
