Sorry for replying so late. [~dwysakowicz]

There are some cases that we could not extend `SerializerTestBase`. For example 
when we write a `UnitSerializerTest extends SerializerTestBase` the compiler 
would report following error:

 

 
{code:java}
Error:(18, 26) overriding method getTestData in class SerializerTestBase of 
type ()Array[Unit];
 method getTestData has incompatible type
  override protected def getTestData: Array[Unit] = null
 
{code}
 

I am not sure the specific reason. But maybe the not object type(any subtype of 
`AnyValue`) could not use as T[], which causes the problem.

> Currently `SerializerTestBase::getTestData` return T[], which can not be 
> override by the Scala. It means that developer could not add scala serializer 
> test based on `SerializerTestBase`
> So I would propose to change the `SerializerTestBase::getTestData` to return 
> List<T>
