In addition to `TEST_CASE`s, Catch2 also supports test cases parametrised

* **TEMPLATE_PRODUCT_TEST_CASE(** _test name_ , _tags_, (_template-type1_, _template-type2_, ..., _template-typen_), (_template-arg1_, _template-arg2_, ..., _template-argm_) **)**
_template-type1_ through _template-typen_ is list of template template
types which should be combined with each of _template-arg1_ through
_template-argm_, resulting in _n * m_ test cases. Inside the test case,
the resulting type is available under the name of `TestType`.
To specify more than 1 type as a single _template-type_ or _template-arg_,
you must enclose the types in an additional set of parentheses, e.g.
`((int, float), (char, double))` specifies 2 template-args, each
consisting of 2 concrete types (`int`, `float` and `char`, `double`
respectively). You can also omit the outer set of parentheses if you
specify only one type as the full set of either the _template-types_,
or the _template-args_.
Example:
```
template< typename T>
struct Foo {
size_t size() {
return 0;
}
};
TEMPLATE_PRODUCT_TEST_CASE("A Template product test case", "[template][product]", (std::vector, Foo), (int, float)) {
TestType x;
REQUIRE(x.size() == 0);
}
```
You can also have different arities in the _template-arg_ packs:
```
TEMPLATE_PRODUCT_TEST_CASE("Product with differing arities", "[template][product]", std::tuple, (int, (int, double), (int, double, float))) {
TestType x;
REQUIRE(std::tuple_size<TestType>::value >= 1);
}
```
_While there is an upper limit on the number of types you can specify
in single `TEMPLATE_TEST_CASE`, the limit is very high and should not
be encountered in practice._
in single `TEMPLATE_TEST_CASE` or `TEMPLATE_PRODUCT_TEST_CASE`, the limit
is very high and should not be encountered in practice._

The two test cases here will create uniquely-named derived classes of UniqueTestsFixture and thus can access the `getID()` protected method and `conn` member variables. This ensures that both the test cases are able to create a DBConnection using the same method (DRY principle) and that any ID's created are unique such that the order that tests are executed does not matter.
Catch2 also provides `TEMPLATE_TEST_CASE_METHOD` that can be used together
with templated fixtures to perform tests for multiple different types.
However, unlike `TEST_CASE_METHOD`, `TEMPLATE_TEST_CASE_METHOD` requires
the tag specification to be non-empty, as it is followed by further macros
arguments.

Also note that, because of limitations of the C++ preprocessor, if you
want to specify a type with multiple template parameters, you need to
enclose it in parentheses, e.g. `std::map<int, std::string>` needs to be
passed as `(std::map<int, std::string>)`.
In the case of `TEMPLATE_PRODUCT_TEST_CASE_METHOD`, if a member of the
type list should consist of more than single type, it needs to be enclosed
in another pair of parentheses, e.g. `(std::map, std::pair)` and
`((int, float), (char, double))`.

## Type parametrised test cases
Test cases in Catch2 can be also parametrised by type, via the
`TEMPLATE_TEST_CASE` macro, which behaves in the same way the `TEST_CASE`
macro, but is run for every type.
