Comment (by SergeyBiryukov):

 Some context from #55918:
 * `wpSetUpBeforeClass()` / `wpTearDownAfterClass()` should not be confused
 with the native PHPUnit methods that need to be replaced with WordPress'
 `snake_case` counterparts, as the tests would not pass across all
 supported PHP and PHPUnit versions otherwise:
  * `setUpBeforeClass()` (native PHPUnit method) → `set_up_before_class()`
 (WP method)
  * `tearDownAfterClass()` (native PHPUnit method) →
 `tear_down_after_class()` (WP method)
 * `wpSetUpBeforeClass()` / `wpTearDownAfterClass()` are used much more
 often in the test suite, though it should be possible to standardize on
 `set_up_before_class()` / `tear_down_after_class()` instead if that's
 preferred.
 * The main differences from `set_up_before_class()` /
 `tear_down_after_class()`:
  * `wpSetUpBeforeClass()` receives the `$factory` argument for ease of
 use.
  * Both `wpSetUpBeforeClass()` and `wpTearDownAfterClass()` don't need to
 call `self::commit_transaction()`.
 * At a glance, in the current test suite:
  * `wpSetUpBeforeClass()` / `wpTearDownAfterClass()` are used when the
 `$factory` argument is utilized.
  * `set_up_before_class()` / `tear_down_after_class()` are used when the
 `$factory` argument is not needed, for example to include some files.
