It sounds, from your description so far, that you have identified a design flaw in D1 and D2. The common functionality should be moved to a common code point (maybe a base class of D1 and D2; maybe a function without need of a class). Then you'll have only one occurrence of that functionality to test, which is good design as well as easier test code :-) -- \ “When I was a little kid we had a sand box. It was a quicksand | `\ box.
