[qmtest] Test cases which require variation of the input

That sounds like what I would do.  Another option would be a test
database that instantiated the template as a zillion different tests,
but that's probably not as nice.

I can't think what else you could do; if you can only perceive the
failure with certain inputs, then you need to be generating those
inputs, which is going to require some sort of enumeration of
possibilities.
