This was a simple example, and in practice, there should be many more rectangles that we should test with to cover all of the possible cases of rectangle intersection.

In general, as code evolves, so do the tests and you often have to add more to the testing datasets. Rather than writing explicitly the data in the test method, as in our previous example, you can fetch it from a data source. The test method is then executed once for each row in the data source.
