  - logout
```
public void logout()
```
    Log out to the super-fast test logout screen. This logs your user out quickly, freeing up resources, but doesn't return the appropriate result for testing. It also sets up the WebTester by calling WebTester.beginAt(String). You should use this method to log out most of the time, and also to begin tests where Confluence is being used anonymously. But use logOutSlowly() if you're testing log-out functionality specifically.
    Note, this method will only actually invalidate your user's existing session on the server if the functest plugin is installed.
    
    See Also:
    
    logOutSlowly()
  - logOutFast
```
public void logOutFast()
```
    Logs the current user out as quickly as possible. It does not call WebTester.beginAt(String) so you can not use it to ensure the WebTester is appropriately set up.
  - logOutSlowly
```
public void logOutSlowly()
```
    Log out by clicking the Log Out link in the UI. This method assumes you are already on a page with the Log Out menu visible. You can use it to test that the results of clicking that link are appropriate. It does not call WebTester.beginAt(String) so you can not use it to ensure the WebTester is appropriately set up.
