Switched to Test::More and done_testing(). This should stop tests from failing due to poor test count specification.

Make the verbose doc a bit more verbose. People in workshops could not find this method which points to poor documentation

Test schema now matches live. Any future patching should be done using the ensembl-test/scripts/patch_test_databases.pl script.

use Test::More rather than old Test library. Avoids breaking tests when we change the numbers of tests run

[ENSCORESW-302]. TranslationAdaptor did not deal with multispecies databases properly when querying for IDs.

count_by_Slice renamed to count_by_Slice_constraint to be more in keeping with existing naming patterns.

[ENSCORESW-284]. Fixing registry lookups for compara gene trees. Also refactored it slightly; we will rip this out soon as we need a clearer separation.

Added a no_cache override feature plus testcase. Useful in times of memory crisis coupled with annoyingly slow lookups of small data.

[ENSCORESW-271]. Fixed the test being too chatty during cleanup by setting the RUNTESTS_HARNESS_NORESTORE before firing off a thread

[ENSCORESW-270]. Fixed issue with can() call which was returning a boolean flag rather than the coderef can() actually returns. Switched to local variables and the entire thing looks fine now
