Exactly. While I agree with you about the occasional difficulty to
separate test scenarios, I think that qmtest does a good job at
reminding you what unit testing is all about ;-)
If you can't split a test into (independent) sub-units, keep them together !
Pushing different annotations into the result object to distinguish test
failures is what qmtest offers you to recover the information later.
