/** Test Suite for CuckooCache
 *
 *  1) All tests should have a deterministic result (using insecure rand
 *  with deterministic seeds)
 *  2) Some test methods are templated to allow for easier testing
 *  against new versions / comparing
 *  3) Results should be treated as a regression test, i.e., did the behavior
 *  change significantly from what was expected. This can be OK, depending on
 *  the nature of the change, but requires updating the tests to reflect the new
 *  expected behavior. For example improving the hit rate may cause some tests
 *  using BOOST_CHECK_CLOSE to fail.
