The Unit Test Framework is flexible on how naming the test units (test cases/suites) and it is possible to use a wide variety of characters. However there are scenarios where the name of a test unit may collide with other and remote functionalities of the Unit Test Framework. For instance:
'@',
'+' or '/'
(see this
section for more details)
To prevent any conflicting declaration, the Unit Test Framework
sanitizes the name given to a test unit
(case or suite), prior to adding the test to the test tree. Any conflicting
character is replaced by an underscore '_'.
