+ --- End diff -- Great. I'm unsure, however, whether you tested all three cases now, i.e. getting from a state of `getNumberOfRequiredBuffers() > getNumberOfAvailableBuffers()` to a state of equality via all three means. Your last tests all come from `getNumberOfRequiredBuffers() <= getNumberOfAvailableBuffers()` only for which you check the behaviour. Also, `testRequestAndReturnFloatingBuffer()` is getting quite long and complex now. Should we have those as (three?) separate tests instead (and cover these two origins one after another there, starting with `getNumberOfRequiredBuffers() > getNumberOfAvailableBuffers()` first, getting to `getNumberOfRequiredBuffers() = getNumberOfAvailableBuffers()` via one of the three causes, and getting to `getNumberOfRequiredBuffers() <= getNumberOfAvailableBuffers()` via one of them, too)
