Hi Leo,

What are you talking about is excellent when you have one method to
test, but need to cover several scenarios. You don't want to have them
together in one test to keep all scenarios clear, right?
I also do in the similar way with minor deviation: I would prefer
testRequestPasswordAuthentication_ThrowsAnExceptionOnNullArguments -
underscore between method name and test intention.
However such approach doesn't work when you really have several
same-named methods with different params. You have to test similar
scenarios, but with different methods...

Please correct me if I got it wrong.

Wishes,
