Test.x is a variable. You have to do something with it, e.g. pass it
as a parameter, add 1 to it. .

is real life you never expose your variables like that.  You use a
getter/setter.

It should not be considered an error when the user starts something
already started or stops something already stopped. This applies
to browsers, services, editors... It is inexcusable to 
punish the user by requiring some elaborate sequence to atone,
e.g. open the task editor, find and kill some processes.
