Pages 152-4: Organizing and running tests - Test suites

Value: Low

Level: Easy

Summary:
You can group test cases together into test suites, letting you run
them all as a group. This is easy to do in Test::Unit. All you have to
do is create a Ruby file that requires test/unit, and then requires
each of the files holding the test cases you want to group.
This way, you build yourself a hierarchy of test material individual
tests, all the tests in a file, group many file in a test suite and
run them as a unit, group test suites into other test suites.
Conventionally test cases are in files named tc_xxx and test suites
are in files named ts_xxx.

Memo: You should group cases that test different sets of functions in
different tests suites.

Example:
# file ts_dbaccess.rb
require 'test/unit'
require 'tc_connect'
require 'tc_query'
require 'tc_update'
require 'tc_delete'
