Probably not, I'm  just practicing the idiom.
We are unlikely to move to concurrent test execution in testng (when it 
supports it).

That would work too.

What's the rule for choosing synchronized vs volatile?  I've gotten 
different recommendations in different cases.
What's Occam's razor here?

that would work, but it is only used in one of the tests.  So just 
trying to keep the usage localized.

Thanks, Roger
