Sorry, to clarify, I'd add a function with a different signature:

writeOutAndReadBack(R wb, String testName)

(where testName is used as the name of the file)

Devs could then choose to call that one or the original:

writeOutAndReadBack(R wb)

Subject: modify XSSFTestDataSamples.writeOutAndReadBack to write to directory 
specified by optional sys prop?

POI Dev Community,
  The patch for 55294 
(https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=55294) includes a handy 
option to write files to the directory set by the system property 
"poi.test.xssf.output.dir" in writeOutAndReadBack.  If the property is not set, 
it backs off to the traditional XSSFTestDataSamples.writeOutAndReadBack. This 
seems to me like an elegant way of dumping created/modified files for manual 
review by opening in Excel or other ooxml tool...if you want this behavior, set 
the system property, if not, don't.
  As part of applying patch 55294, should I generalize this behavior and modify 
XSSFTestDataSamples.writeOutAndReadBack to do this?

    Thank you.

             Best,

                      Tim
