Fundamentals and Conventions

• Access classes are BAD. Write test classes to belong the same package as the tested classes, this way package private functionality can be tested even if the test classes are physically in a different location.
• A ...TestBase is an abstract class that has a protected abstract get...ToTest() method.
• If in developing a SomethingBase we want to test the base behavior at its own layer, then conventionally we should use a SomethingTestBase (and not a SomethingBaseTestBase).
