If it is the case that the whole structure has to be valid for the test to
pass, I would create a function to validate the structure that would return
zero or more error messages (with an empty string being "No Errors"). I would
include a single assert that required the returned error string to be equal to
the empty string. If the structure was valid, the returned error message
string would be empty and the test would pass. if the structure was not valid,
the returned error message string would not be empty and the test would fail,
and in the process of failing would report the differences between the empty
message and the actual message. This is the best of both worlds.Jon Stonecash
