    """Base class for unit test classes.

    If the environment variable ``OS_TEST_TIMEOUT`` is set to an
    integer value, a timer is configured to control how long
    individual test cases can run. This lets tests fail for taking too
    long, and prevents deadlocks from completely hanging test runs.

    If the environment variable ``OS_STDOUT_CAPTURE`` is set, a fake
    stream replaces ``sys.stdout`` so the test can look at the output
    it produces.

    If the environment variable ``OS_STDERR_CAPTURE`` is set, a fake
    stream replaces ``sys.stderr`` so the test can look at the output
    it produces.

    If the environment variable ``OS_DEBUG`` is set to a true value,
    debug logging is enabled. Alternatively, the ``OS_DEBUG``
    environment variable can be set to a valid log level.

    If the environment variable ``OS_LOG_CAPTURE`` is set to a true
    value, a logging fixture is installed to capture the log output.

    Uses the fixtures_ module to configure a :class:`NestedTempFile`
    to ensure that all temporary files are created in an isolated
    location.

    Uses the fixtures_ module to configure a :class:`TempHomeDir` to
    change the ``HOME`` environment variable to point to a temporary
    location.

    PLEASE NOTE:
    Usage of this class may change the log level globally by setting the
    environment variable ``OS_DEBUG``. A mock of ``time.time`` will be called
    many more times than might be expected because it's called often by the
    logging module. A usage of such a mock should be avoided when a test needs
    to verify logging behavior or counts the number of invocations. A
    workaround is to overload the ``_fake_logs`` function in a base class but
    this will deactivate fake logging globally.
