Then the concept of 'tests' is a bit silly;  the input of the user or the
input in the current document should have nothing to do with the passing or
failing of the test.
ALL the information for the test should be hardcoded in the test, in order
to let it be as small of a unit (to test) as possible.
This also makes coding the actual test a LOT simpler (as no code has to
be written validating the input) which allows you to write many little
tests.

A test should in the best case not even be shipped to the user.
