Define utility functions in a utility class that inherits
from 'unittest.TestCase'. The test classes inherit from the utility
class.
Reduces line count from 384 to 307. It should also make it easier
for a user to comment out tests without mistakenly breaking
previous tests by commenting out their utility functions.
