--------------

512
Some utilities are provided for generating variations of tests.  This can
 
513
be used for per-implementation tests, or other cases where the same test
 
514
code needs to run several times on different scenarios.
 
515
 
 
516
The general approach is to define a class that provides test methods,
 
517
which depend on attributes of the test object being pre-set with the
 
518
values to which the test should be applied.  The test suite should then
 
519
also provide a list of scenarios in which to run the tests.
 
520
 
 
521
Typically ``multiply_tests_from_modules`` should be called from the test
 
522
module's ``test_suite`` function.
