/**
- * This TestCase class provides a framework for isolated testing of a single
- * ContentProvider. It uses a {@link android.test.mock.MockContentResolver} to
- * access the provider, restricts the provider to an isolated area of the
- * filesystem (for safely creating & modifying databases & files), and injects
- * {@link android.test.IsolatedContext} to isolate the ContentProvider from the
- * rest of the running system.
- *
- * <p>This environment is created automatically by {@link #setUp} and {@link
- * #tearDown}.
+ * This test case class provides a framework for testing a single
+ * {@link ContentProvider} and for testing your app code with an
+ * isolated content provider. Instead of using the system map of
+ * providers that is based on the manifests of other applications, the test
+ * case creates its own internal map. It then uses this map to resolve providers
+ * given an authority. This allows you to inject test providers and to null out
+ * providers that you do not want to use.
+ * <p>
+ * This test case also sets up the following mock objects:
+ * </p>
+ * <ul>
+ * <li>
+ * An {@link android.test.IsolatedContext} that stubs out Context methods that might
+ * affect the rest of the running system, while allowing tests to do real file and
+ * database work.
+ * </li>
+ * <li>
+ * A {@link android.test.mock.MockContentResolver} that provides the functionality of a
+ * regular content resolver, but uses {@link IsolatedContext}. It stubs out
+ * {@link ContentResolver#notifyChange(Uri, ContentObserver, boolean)} to
+ * prevent the test from affecting the running system.
+ * </li>
+ * <li>
+ * An instance of the provider under test, running in an {@link IsolatedContext}.
+ * </li>
+ * </ul>
+ * <p>
+ * This framework is set up automatically by the base class' {@link #setUp()} method. If you
+ * override this method, you must call the super method as the first statement in
+ * your override.
+ * </p>
+ * <p>
+ * In order for their tests to be run, concrete subclasses must provide their own
+ * constructor with no arguments. This constructor must call
+ * {@link #ProviderTestCase2(Class, String)} as its first operation.
+ * </p>
+ * For more information on content provider testing, please see
+ * <a href="{@docRoot}guide/topics/testing/provider_testing.html">Content Provider Testing</a>.
