Say I want to write ten tests for different aspects of a web service point. Apart from the risk of relying on an external service, I'd like to poll the web service once rather than ten times. I wondering about the feasibility of memorizing data between test methods. Taking for example... TestCase subclass: #MyTest ... My understanding is that MyTest >> setUp is run once per test method. What I guess is missing is a #groupSetup that would be called at the start of a running a group of tests. MyTest >> groupSetup memorized := Dictionary new. MyTest >> getLiveDataOncePerRun ^ memorized at: 'data' ifAbsentPut: [ZnClient new get: ' http://someservice.com/liveData1'. MyTest >> test1 |data| data := self getLiveDataOncePerRun . self assert: data result1 equals: 'expected result 1' MyTest >> test2 |data| data := self getLiveDataOncePerRun. self assert: data result2 equals: 'expected result 2' cheers -ben
