It is important that the mapping between data representation in the test and data passed to the function being tested is as transparent as possible. Hard-coded data is totally ok if the data are few and easy to observe right in the source. The fewer windows you need to keep open to understand a test case, the better.
I'd try to keep the tests fast and simple. The faster, the tests run, the more tests you can add to your build.
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.
