Eric,

Thanks,

Is there a general principal, as to the granularity of tests, should
they be written against methods or 'use cases'?

I guess if they are written against public methods then you cover the
the use cases as well and its easier to deal with when a test fails.
Does this make sense?

This week I've got the file upload progress stuff in use in production
with turbine 2.3. I want to write some tests to submit for both
commons-fileupload and turbine. 

Regards,

Peter
