Random thoughts on Test Overspecification:

I've noticed that if a testMethod covers many implementation methods then when you refactor the implementation you dont have to change the testClass as often. Is this bad practice? Can fewer 'larger' tests help make refactoring easier? This is counter to the patern of have many testMethods for every implementation method.

Perhaps I should not test all these implementation methods? Should I make them private and not test them individually but rather let the larger test cover them? (more like black box testing?)
