Comment (by tscrim):

 From taking a quick look at what you are testing, it looks more like you
 should have a separate file with test functions that takes a backend,
 creates an instance of it, and runs the basic tests, and then have a
 "master" function which takes the backend and feeds it to each of those
 functions (or some small variant of this). IMO, this is a better way to do
 the things that you want, and it means for each (new) backend, you only
 have to add a test to pass it to the "master" function. It also has a bit
 of a fringe benefit of consolidating the testing of the backends.

 It is possible the user will want to run `TestSuite` on a particular
 instance, and will be quite surprised if the object has mutated. Another
 valid option would be to make a copy of the instance and do the mutations
 to that.
