Comment (by Chris Jerdonek):
In your example, `TestStringMethods` is a test case class. `unittest`
creates test cases from test methods, so test cases are in one-to-one
correspondence with test methods. (That's why the id of a test case
includes the method name.)
For example, if you read the docs for `loadTestsFromModule()`:
https://docs.python.org/3/library/unittest.html#unittest.TestLoader.loadTestsFromModule
it says:
> Return a suite of all ''test cases'' (my emphasis) contained in the
given module. This method searches ''module'' for classes derived from
`TestCase` and creates an instance of the class for each test method
defined for the class.
You can view test methods as the way to define the test cases that will
run.
