Each instance of :class:`TestCase` will run a single base method: the method
- named *methodName*. However, the standard implementation of the default
- *methodName*, ``runTest()``, will run every method starting with ``test``
- as an individual test, and count successes and failures accordingly.
- Therefore, in most uses of :class:`TestCase`, you will neither change

+ In most uses of :class:`TestCase`, you will neither change
the *methodName* nor reimplement the default ``runTest()`` method.
