No, you would... you'll get the formula from excel, and each formula
would be a separate assert, and in the assert comment, you put the
formula. so:
while (get all cells) {
...
assertEquals(c.getCellFormula(), expectedValueCell, actualValue)
}

Well, if you are doing test first development that helps, but really,
for regression testing, doesnt matter much, so long as you can see what
is failing.
And while implementing other functions, if someone wants to do
test-first, its better to write a lower level test without reading from
an excel file, but doing everything in POI.

No i didnt.... :) but I am thinking less code to maintain! A year later,
a new contributor will forget about generation, and copy paste...
