== Overview ==

Write a class to help with writing unit tests.  Unit tests should be easy to write, so that we write them more often and quicker.  There are many common operations that a unit test might need.  

Write a unit test helper module that provides the ability to execute a menu item, find a book with a given name, return the current page of the book, change pages of the book, return the number of frames on a page, return the number of pages, etc.

== Task requirements ==

 * Write a class to help with writing unit tests
 * Add utility methods such as:
   * Finding the current book
   * Finding the current page
   * Finding the current frame
   * Finding the number of pages
   * Executing a menu command (such as "File" "Close", "Book" "New Page" etc)
   * Programmatically building books
    * Obtaining a tmp book in a tmp directory
    * Having this book auto closed/deleted when the unit finishes running
    * Importing resources easier
 * Create a wiki tutorial page on how to use this class to assist in writing unit tests
   
== Task result ==

The result of this task is code and documentation

== Implementation idea ==

 * Use your experience writing unit tests to help determine what else to add
 * You should be able to simply get an instance of this class and query the data
 * Also look at programmatically building books
