public interface TestCompilerHelper

Bug 53796 - TestCompiler uses static Set which can grow huge This interface is a means to allow the pair data to be saved with the parent instance, thus allowing it to be garbage collected when the thread completes. This uses a bit more memory, as each controller test element includes the data structure to contain the child element. However, there is no need to store the parent element.
