Yes, i general you are right. I meant following case, please look at my
example
Suppose i have following simple test case:
import unittest
class SomeTest(unittest.TestCase):
def testAdd(self):
self.assertEqual(2+2,4)
if __name__=="__main__":
unittest.TextTestRunner().run(SomeTest())
this code produce following exception:
ValueError: no such test method in <class '__main__.SomeTest'>: runTest
Because default test method name is "run", but TestCase class have
constructor parameter testMethod with default value "runTest" not "run"!
As result i always should explicitly pass testMethod name when create object
of test case class:
unittest.TextTestRunner().run(SomeTest("run"))
Why i should do this?

No: method run is used by the framework, it internally calls the setUp,
tearDown, etc. You don't have to override run (you must not override
run!), instead, you provide the runTest method in your class.
Furthermore, instead of many similar TestCase classes, you can write a
single class with many methods named testXXX, and they will be found and
used by a TestLoader.
