And the naming convention for a unittest should be just as 
straight forward.

ie. the same as for a class/variable.

There is no need to allow spaces (for example). Of you need a 
sentence to describe your unittest, that is more about 
documentation, than naming something.

unittest testThisClass
{

}

unittest testThatClass
{

}
