Setup, Teardown, and Global Properties

I would like the notion of true global properties (For at least a test suite).  So, I set some properties for a test suite and those properties are available to all testcases and steps in that suite.

One way to do this that would add even more flexibility for future things is the notion of setup and teardown steps on test suites.  Allow the user to specify steps that should be run before *every* test case in the suite and/or after *every* test case in the suite.  Then I could accomplish global properties by making a properties "setup" step for a test suite.

JUnit has the notion of setup and teardown methods-- soapUI should learn from JUnit and adopt what works well.  Then I wouldn't have to put the same properties step in every single test case.

Thanks for your consideration!
