Another difference is of course that by writing the tests in a
category, you have access to the internal state of the class (like the
ivar tableWindow), and you do not need access methods...
A good suite of unit tests enables refactoring. However, if the tests
access internals of the production code, the tests are getting in the
way of refactoring (because they would always need to be changed
together with the production code). That's why I think ideally unit
tests should only test the public/official api, for which categories
are not necessary.
Besides, if all unit tests were in the form of categories, how would
one test a production code category?
