How do I rename a tSQLt test class?

Question

I\'m developing a database using the Red Gate SQL Developer tools. SQL Test, the SSMS add-in that runs tSQLt tests, lacks a way to rename test classes.

I have a test

What is your workflow like? If you have all your tests for that test class in one script with exec tSQLt.NewTestClass 'BackendLayerCustomerAdministrationTests' then you can just find and replace the testclass name and you are done.

e.g.

EXEC tSQLt.DropClass 'BackendLayerCustomerAdministrationTests'
GO
EXEC tSQLt.NewTestClass 'CustomerTests'
GO

CREATE PROC [CustomerTests].[test_Insert_AddsACustomer]
AS
etc, etc

This will work because the EXEC tSQLt.NewTestClass 'CustomerTests' will drop all objects in the testclass and they will be recreated as the rest of the script runs.
