                  When comparing the values of the =expectedValueANYTYPE= and =valueANYTYPE= parameters, the values are compared for identical contents, but not sameness of object references.

                  So, for example, the statement =myTest.expect ({foo:'bar'},{foo:'bar'})= would return the value =true=, even though the values of the =expectedValueANYTYPE= and =valueANYTYPE= parameters would be references to different anonymous objects. In cases where you wish to test for sameness, you can use the =expectSameAs= instance method.

                Same, Not Identical
                  When comparing the values of the =expectedValueANYTYPE= and =valueANYTYPE= parameters, the values are compared using a sameness (strict equality) test, so contents of arrays or objects are not compared.

                  So, for example, the statement =myTest.expectSameAs ({foo:'bar'},{foo:'bar'})= would return the value =false=, even though the contents of the objects specified by the =expectedValueANYTYPE= and =valueANYTYPE= parameters are identical. Because the two values are compared using a strict equality, and because the two values would be references to different anonymous objects, they are not considered the same. In cases where you wish to test for identical contents of arrays or objects and not sameness of object references, you can use the =expect= instance method.

                  ..................................................................

                  The value of the =classOBJorSTR= parameter can be an object, being a reference to the expected class, or a string representing the globally accessible name of the class' constructor (='Function'=, ='String'=, ='RegExp'=, ='Uize.Widget.Bar.Slider'=, etc.).

                  What Qualifies as an Instance Of?
                    A value specified for the =valueANYTYPE= parameter will be considered to be an instance of a specified class when the following conditions are met...

                    - the value is non-null
                    - the value of the value's =constructor= property is a reference to the class

                  Built-in Objects Supported
                    The "class" specified by the =classOBJorSTR= parameter can be a built-in JavaScript object (such as =Function=) or a =Uize.Class= subclass.

                    So, for example, the statement =myTest.expectInstanceOf (RegExp,/^\s+$/)= would return the value =true=.

                  Uize Subclasses Supported
                    The class specified by the =classOBJorSTR= parameter can be a =Uize.Class= subclass.

                    So, for example, the statement =myTest.expectInstanceOf (Uize.Widget.Bar,Uize.Widget.Bar ())= would return the value =true=.

                  Instances of Subclasses Don't Qualify
                    A value will *not* be considered to be an instance of a specified class if it is, in fact, an instance of a *subclass* of the specified class.

                    So, for example, the statement =myTest.expectInstanceOf (Uize.Widget,Uize.Widget.Bar ())= would return the value =false=.

                  Expecting Arrays or Regular Expressions
                    While you can use the =expectInstanceOf= method to test for instances of arrays or regular expressions, there are dedicated `expectation methods` to test for instances of those built-in JavaScript objects.

                    To test for instances of the =Array= object, you can use the =expectArray= instance method. So, the statement =myTest.expectInstanceOf (Array,['foo','bar'])= would be equivalent to the more concise statement =myTest.expectArray (['foo','bar'])=. Similarly, the statement =myTest.expectInstanceOf (RegExp,/^\s+$/)= would be equivalent to the more concise statement =myTest.expectRegExp (/^\s+$/)=.

                  Null Is Not An Instance of Object
                    While JavaScript's =typeof= operator will return the value ='object'= for the value =null=, the =expectInstanceOf= method does not consider =null= to be an instance of =Object= (mainly because it's not).

                    So, the statement =myTest.expectType ('object',null)= will return the value =true=, while the statement =myTest.expectInstanceOf (Object,null)= will return the value =false=.

                  Primitives Are Instances, Too
                    While JavaScript's built-in =instanceof= operator fails to recognize primitive values as instances of the underlying built-in objects that implement their behavior, the =expectInstanceOf= method *does* recognize such primitives as instances.

                    This is because the =expectInstanceOf= method tests to see if the =constructor= property of the value is a reference to the expected class. So, for example, while the statement ='foo' instanceof String= would produce the value =false=, the statement =myTest.expectInstanceOf (String,'foo')= would return the value =true=. This same rule applies also to number and boolean primitives. Also, both of the statements =myTest.expectInstanceOf (String,'foo')= and =myTest.expectInstanceOf (String,new String ('foo'))= would return the value =true=.

                  Primitives Versus Instances
                    The =expectType= method uses JavaScript's built-in =typeof= operator to determine the type of the specified actual value.

                    Using the =typeof= operator, instances of JavaScript's built-in =String=, =Number=, and =Boolean= objects are all considered of type ='object'=. So, the statement =myTest.expectType ('string',new String ('foo'))= will return the value =false=, while the statement =myTest.expectType ('object',new String ('foo'))= will return the value =true=. In contrast, the statement =myTest.expectInstanceOf (String,new String ('foo'))= would return the value =true=, while the statement =myTest.expectInstanceOf (String,'foo')= would also return the value =true=.

                  Array, Not Array-like
                    The =expectArray= method tests specifically whether or not the value is an instance of the =Array= object.

                    The =expectObject= method uses JavaScript's built-in =typeof= operator to determine the type of the specified actual value.

                    Using the =typeof= operator, instances of many of JavaScript's built-in objects (such as the =Date=, =RegExp=, =Number=, =Boolean=, and =String= objects) are considered of type ='object'= - not just instances of the built-in =Object= object. In addition, the value =null= is considered to be of type ='object'=. If you want to test specifically whether or not a value is an instance of the =Object= object, then you should use a statement like =myTest.expectInstanceOf (Object,value)=.

                  Array-like Includes Array
                    Array-like values can be considered a superset that includes strict Array values.

                  Multiple Types Supported
                    The =expectInRange= method uses JavaScript's built-in less =<== (less than or equal to) and =>== (greater than or equal to) operators in comparing the specified value to the range boundary values.

                    This means that the type of the =minValueANYTYPE=, =maxValueANYTYPE=, and =valueANYTYPE= parameters can be any type that can be compared using those operators. So, a number can be tested to see if it lies within a numerical range, a string can be tested to see if it lies in an ASCIIbetical range, a date can be tested to see if it lies within a date range, etc.

                  Range Boundary Order Unimportant
                    When specifying a value range, the order of the boundaries is unimportant.

                    So, while it is customary to specify minimum value first and maximum value second, the order can be reversed. For example, the statement =myTest.expectNumberInRange (0,100,value)= would be equivalent to the statement =myTest.expectNumberInRange (100,0,value)=. This is particularly useful when the range values are determined programmatically and the first value is not guaranteed to be lower than the second value.

                    The =expectLengthInRange= method supports any type of value for the =valueANYTYPE= parameter, provided that the value has a =length= property.

                    So, the =expectLengthInRange= method can be used to test whether or not a string's length falls within a specific range, whether or not an array's length falls within a specific range, or whether or not the value of the =length= property for any value falls within a range.

                  Range Boundaries Can Be Floating Point
                    While the =expectIntegerInRange= method tests, for one thing, that the value of the =valueANYTYPE= parameter is an integer, it is *not* required that the range boundary values be integers.

                    So, for example, the statement =myTest.expectIntegerInRange (0,100.25,100)= would return the value =true=, because the value =100= *is* in the range of =0= to =100.25=.

                  modulesSTRorARRAY
                    The value of the =modulesSTRorARRAY= parameter can be a string, specifying the full name of a single module or a comma-separated list of the full names for multiple modules, or an array of the full names for multiple modules.

                    Essentially, the value specified for the =modulesSTRorARRAY= parameter can be any value that is acceptable for the =required= property in a =Uize.module= declaration (see the guide [[../guides/javascript-modules.html][JavaScript Modules]] for a refresher on modules).

                  An Example
                    The =Uize.Test.requiredModulesTest= method is useful for creating a first test in a series of tests for a module that is being tested. Consider the following example...

                    EXAMPLE
                    .............................................................
                    var testClassForUizeArrayOrder = Uize.Test.resolve ({
                      title:'Uize.Array.Order Module Test',
                      test:[
                        Uize.Test.requiredModulesTest ('Uize.Array.Order'),
                        Uize.Test.staticMethodsTest ([
                          // ...
                          // static method tests here, in comma-separated list
                          // ...
                        ])
                      ]
                    });
                    .............................................................

                    In the above example, a test class is being created for testing the =Uize.Array.Order= module, using the =Uize.Test.resolve= static method (another of the `test class factory methods`). As you will notice, the very first child test in our test class is being created using the =Uize.Test.requiredModulesTest= method. This tests requiring the =Uize.Array.Order= module. If the test fails, then subsequent tests will not be performed. If the test succeeds, then the =Uize.Array.Order= module is guaranteed to be built and can be relied upon for the subsequent tests that will test the module's various features, such as its static methods.

                  .......................................................................

                  propertyFullNameSTR
                    A string, specifying the full name of the static property, including the full host path.

                    For example, with the "isAsync" property of the =Uize.Class.Test= module, the value specified for the =propertyFullNameSTR= parameter would be ='Uize.Class.Test.isAsync'=.

                  What Comprises a Static Property Test
                    The test class created by the =Uize.Test.staticPropertyTest= method has two child tests.

                    The first test tests whether or not the property's host is defined (with the value ='Uize.Class.Test.isAsync'= specified for the =propertyFullNameSTR= parameter, that would test for =Uize.Test= to be defined). The second test tests that the specified property is of the specified type.

                  An Example
                    The following example serves merely to illustrate the behavior of a static property test (typically static property tests won't be created in this way - they will typically be incorporated into a list of other tests, in a more concise declarative statement).

                    EXAMPLE
                    ..................................................................
                    var
                      StaticPropertyTestClass = Uize.Test.staticPropertyTest (
                        'Uize.Class.Test.isAsync','object'
                      ),
                      staticPropertyTest = new StaticPropertyTestClass
                    ;
                    staticPropertyTest.run (
                      function () {
                        alert (staticPropertyTest.get ('result'));  // displays true
                      }
                    );
                    ..................................................................

                    In the above example, a test class is being created to test for the =Uize.Class.Test.isAsync= static property. The test class is assigned to the =StaticPropertyTestClass= variable. Then, an instance of that test class is created, assigned to the =staticPropertyTest= variable, and then run. Upon completion, the callback function is executed and the result of the test is reported in a JavaScript alert. The result is =true= (assuming something hasn't been broken in the =Uize.Test= module), since the =Uize.Class.Test.isAsync= static property is of type ='object'=.

                        When a case is either asynchronous or non-deterministic (i.e. you can't be guaranteed to always get the same result returned for the same argument values), then you cannot use the concise array syntax for declaring the case as you can with `synchronous and deterministic cases`.

                        Instead, you can use the object syntax accepted for the =testOBJ= parameter of the =Uize.Test.resolve= static method, or you can provide a =Uize.Test= subclass (created by one of the `test class factory methods`, or otherwise created).

                  supplementalTestPropertiesOBJ
                    When the optional =supplementalTestPropertiesOBJ= parameter is specified, then additional values for the state properties of the created =Uize.Test= subclass can be specified.

                    Among other things, this allows the =title= of the test class to be specified (rather than using the automatically generated title).

                  supplementalCaseTestPropertiesOBJ
                    The optional =supplementalCaseTestPropertiesOBJ= parameter lets you specify supplemental test properties that should be applied to each of the cases specified by the =casesARRAY= parameter.

                  An Example
                    In the following example, a test class is being created for the =Uize.capFirstChar= static method.

                    EXAMPLE
                    ..................................................................
                    Uize.Test.staticMethodTest (
                      'Uize.capFirstChar',
                      [
                        ['Many letters, first letter is lowercase','hello','Hello'],
                        ['Many letters, first letter is uppercase','Hello','Hello'],
                        ['Single letter, lowercase','h','H'],
                        ['Single letter, uppercase','H','H'],
                        ['Empty string','','']
                      ]
                    );
                    ..................................................................

                    Notice how, with each of the test cases, the value specified for the arguments is a string - not an array. This is because the =Uize.capFirstChar= method takes only one parameter, and for cases where methods only take a single parameter, the =Uize.Test.staticMethodTest= method supports that single value being specified without the arguments array "wrapper".

                  The test class created by this method first tests whether or not the specified test module can be successfully required (and loaded and built, if necessary). It does this using a child test created using the =Uize.Test.requiredModulesTest= static method. If the test module can be successfully required, then it is run by instantiating it and calling its =run= instance method.

                  The =Uize.Test.testSuite= method wraps each of the test modules specified in the =testSuiteModulesARRAY= parameter in a test module test, using the =Uize.Test.testModuleTest= static method. This ensures that the many individual test modules that make up a test suite are only loaded dynamically as needed when the test suite is run - they are not directly required by the test suite test, and they do not need to be loaded in just so that the test suite's test class can be built. This is a good thing, because many of the test modules are rather large.
