Hi Brian,

other.

You could write them in one big method. But if it is at all possible,
try to create some kind of mock-object that fakes the behaviour of the
environment. (Even if this involves changing the design of the
application or the environment it is probably worth it).

The one-big-test way can work nicely too to find bugs, but it's not
really unit testing, so that's why the unit testing tools won't really
fit the problem.
