note, we're talking about "unit" tests here. By definition, they don't
use maps. The traditional "unit" for C unit tests is a function - so
each test case (a set of individual tests) will test a given function.
Unit tests are much more low-level than a few of the posters in this
thread are thinking.
The kind of tests that would include loading maps and checking for
correct behaviour, is what we usually call "functional" tests. They are
desirable too, but much harder to get right and complete than unit tests.
