   TestResult -> TestListener.startTest()
   TestResult -> TestCase.runBare()
                    setUp()    | These methods called in the runBare()
                    run()      | method
                    tearDown() |
   TestResult -> TestListener.endTest()

setUp is not an "event method" since you don't have any kind of listener 
involved.

When the TestResult "asks" the TestCase to run itself (by calling the 
runBare() method), the TestCase executes its setUp, test code and 
tearDown method.  Before calling the runBare() method, the TestResult 
tells the listeners that a test is about to start (startTest) and did 
finish (endTest).

For more info, please refer to the TestCase.java and TestResult.java files.
