Re: Updates to NUnit 2.5

Sounds like a good possibility, although it seems to share
with "Factory" the deficiency of not making much sense when
used without arguments.

Maybe I should leave the attribute off in that case...

What if 
  [Test]
  public void Method(int x, int y) { ... }
automatically searched for a factory within the class?

Would that lead to confusion?
