That's what somebody told me when I was back in the school [1]_ (now
I'm an old man that forgets things ;o)

{{{
For the ease of running tests, as we will see later, it is a good idea
to provide in each test module a 'callable' object that returns a
pre-built test suite:

       def suite():
           suite = unittest.TestSuite()
           suite.addTest(WidgetTestCase("testDefaultSize"))
           suite.addTest(WidgetTestCase("testResize"))
           return suite
}}}
