used to test the individual components in the lifecycle with data that has expected characteristics
and can be asserted as desired.

You can change/extend these stubs, and tests should not be breaking too much, since most tests

More precisely, if <code>T</code> is not an interface type, <code>x.(T)</code> asserts
that the dynamic type of <code>x</code> is <a href="#Type_identity">identical</a>
