  * ────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
  * Test Method Naming Conventions:
  * 
  * All methods marked by the @testMethod annotation should be named in a manner that describes the
  * functional test logic being implemented by using the following pattern:
  *
  *   MethodName_StateUnderTest_ExpectedBehavior
  * 
  * Examples: enrollStudent_InvalidData_ExceptionThrown(), addFollower_ValidData_Success()

  * FUNCTIONAL TEST LOGIC
  * ────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
  * 
  * PLEASE FOLLOW THIS LAYOUT EXAMPLE:
  *
  * 1. Step one.
  *    A. Sub-step 1-A
  *    B. Sub-step 1-B
  *       > Additional details within sub-step 1-B
  * 2. Step two.
  *    A. Sub-step 2-A
  *       > Additional details within sub-step 2-A
  *       > ... (process / steps repeat)
  *       > Final detail within sub-step 2-A
  * N. Steps continue until functional logic explanation is complete.
