I find your approach suspicious: you write a class with a method whose 
regular behavior involves executing a loop.  Then, during tests you want 
the loop to not loop, i.e. you change the behavior of your method. 
Strictly speaking the test result is then meaningless, because you do 
not test the behavior of the method that you want to use regularly.

If there is a complex operation in the loop that you want to test 
separately you should probably refactor the code.  Then you can have 
your one off test.
