It may be nitpicking but I would suggest that we keep the source tree and
the test code tree separate. Im my setup for instance, I have a 'src'
directory tree and a 'test' directory tree. The structure of the 'test'
directory tree is identical to the 'src' tree. In each sub-directory under
'test' are the test suites for the classes in the corresponding directory
under 'src'.
