Do you really write tests like this? I think Jay Levitt's post is
applicable: http://rubyforge.org/pipermail/rspec-users/2007-September/002973.html
My tests are always micro workflows (in Test::Unit or test/spec)
rather than perfectly coupled unit tests. In both of these examples
you are basically testing whether 8 + 4 = 12. Why not test some actual
usernames of various edge lengths, instead?
