<div class="bz_comment_block">
<pre class="bz_comment_text">A test defines a testing procedure without any particular values to test. A
test case is a particular instance of a test with all the values defined.
A usual pattern of test case development is a test method implementing the test
procedure and a number of test cases calling the procedure with different
values.
If there are multiple variables with different values, the number of (possible)
test cases could be very high, which would be tedious and error-prone to
implement and maintain. This could be alleviated with scripts, but at that
point, we could have a more centrallized solution where the definition of test
cases could be just a matrix/dictionary of all the vectors of values to test.
The question is whether this is worth implementing (Are there going to be that
many test cases? Do we want that many?)?
The solution needs to be cognisant of how the test cases are going to be
executed and recorded and most importantly, how are they going to be recorded
in case they're blocked or skipped (i.e. when not executed).
