I agree. If behaviors A, B, and C are provided by the superclass, then A, B, and C should be tested in the super-test. My subclass provides behavior D, thus I provide tests for behavior D, inheriting the tests for behaviors A, B, and C. If the superclass changes its behavior, it will change its tests. My testing of my subclass will inherit the changes in the tests. No problem.

    That's not what I recommended. Please re-read what you think you're agreeing with.
