Re: Dynamically Defining Tests from Config File

Our very simple solution to this is to have one 'test'.  In which, we  
loop through the parameters and feed the data into a helper method  
which is invoked inside a try/catch.

the helper method is written like a unit tests with all the asserts  
one would want to use.

the loop catches any asserts, writing the message to a  
StringBuilder.  After the loop, if the StringBuilder has any length,  
it calls Assert.Fail.

I think this nothing more than just restating what Charlie said, but  
we have found this useful to find a way to catch all the errors in  
one run.
