Hi Dave,

it would be useful to know the reasons why you think that this behavior
is misleading and problematic.

Title:
  Test time includes execution time of Setup and Teardown methods

Status in NUnit V2 Test Framework:
  New

Bug description:
  The calculated time of a test includes its SetUp and TearDown methods.

  This includes:

  The "time" attribute in the "test-case" element in an XML report is
  not limited to the execution time of the decorated test method.

  The "MaxTime" attribute fails on this same value (time of Setup + time
  of teardown + time of test).  This is first of all misleading, and
  secondly problematic.

  A work around would appear to be to avoid Setup and Teardown methods
  (as has been suggested for other reasons by some) and do
  setup/teardown in the scope of the fixture or the test class
  constructor/destructor.  In many cases, inlining setup and teardown
  within the test case itself is not a feasible workaround.
