Basic Examples  (1)

Create a test using TestCreate:

Run the test using TestEvaluate:

TestEvaluate will always run a TestObject, even if it is already evaluated:

Evaluate a test by specifying an Association:

Possible Issues  (2)

TestEvaluate will always use a set of defaults if all keys are not specified:

An empty association will still be considered a valid test:

When using an Association, certain properties will be automatically wrapped with HoldForm:
