If you read through the whole series, you'll see that each test case
tests one thing and one thing only. I link to xUnit Test Patterns
book online, which has quite a bit to say about test smells.
There's so much to cover on this subject and the posts were already
getting a bit lengthy (originally I thought it would be 1 blog post!).
Thanks for the feedback.
