Hi Brian,

I don't know if it's advisable or not, but one way is to undefine
`default_test'.

  require 'test/unit'

  class AbstractTestCase < Test::Unit::TestCase
    undef_method :default_test
  end

  class ConcreteTestCase < AbstractTestCase
    def test_foo
      assert true
    end
  end

Having said that, unless you really need class inheritance for
something, it's probably cleaner just to #include mixins.

Regards,
George.
