class BaseMenuUnitTests \< Test::Unit::TestCase

```
 def test_validateNavId
     assert_nothing_raised(Exception) {
         navid = validateNavId(NavTrac,"test_validNavId")
         assert(navid == NavTrac, "validateNavId Return value 

```

‘#{navid}’  
differs from object validated (#{NavTrac}).")  
}  
end

end

It is the easiest way I can see to put this together, as long as it  
doesn’t  
conflict with some standard or requirement of usage…???
