At morelinq we have a so called "breaking sequence" to test that. Basically, it is an enumerator that will throw an exception whenever it is enumerated.
I'm going to answer in a similar vein to what Johannes Rudolph answered. It sounds like you're thinking the right thing, wanting to have a test for something important that would be difficult to trace if it fails.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
