Comment:

 Well, I'm impressed. Nice work.

 One thing I wonder about is whether we should embrace the idea of testing
 the "any" taxonomy instead of pigeon-holing our tests to specifically
 categories or tags.

 As usage of custom post types/taxonomies continues to grow, it might be
 worth taking a more dynamic tack to testing taxonomy APIs using random,
 factory-generated taxonomies (hierarchical or non-hierarchical as needed)
 whenever possible.

 I think my hesitation to using built-in taxonomies stems from the
 knowledge that there's a great deal of institutional and legacy support
 for those taxonomies in core. Sometimes we need to specifically test
 categories and tags, and that's a given. I just don't think that means we
 ''always'' should.
