in Testing: Avoid setUp and tearDown on Thinking inside a bigger box
Agreed! I often find myself refactoring setup methods to factories called by the individual tests whenever I come across tests that need to do some prep work before they can run. Makes things much easier to grasp when you revisit the test fixtures later.

in Twelve-Three-One: Getting There on Thinking inside a bigger box
Interesting, it reminded me of one of my favorite quotes:

Would you tell me, please, which way I ought to go from
here?' - Alice speaks to Cheshire Cat
`That depends a good deal on where you want to get to,' said the
Cat.
`I don't much care where--' said Alice.
`Then it doesn't matter which way you go,' said the Cat.
`--so long as I get somewhere,' Alice added as an explanation.
`Oh, you're sure to do that,' said the Cat, `if you only walk
long enough.'
