Optimizing setUp/tearDown of unit testing: 

One builds an expensive-to-create "universe" only once. Test setUp starts
a transaction. One arranges for application code creates/commits
subtransactions instead of transactions when run in test context. Test
tearDown aborts outer transaction.

Mind you, I'm not doing that yet, so one could call all of this YAGNI.
