-    Assuming we have a common test function that will run a test. This test
-    function will take keyword arguments (for example generators for each of
-    the input interfaces) and generate tests that call the supplied function.
-
-    This Factory allows us to generate sets of tests based on the different
-    permutations of the possible arguments to the test function.
-
-    For example, if we have a module that takes backpressure, has two configurable
-    features where enabling ``feature_b`` requires ``feature_a`` to be active, and
-    need to test against data generation routines ``gen_a`` and ``gen_b``:
-
-    >>> tf = TestFactory(test_function=run_test)
-    >>> tf.add_option(name='data_in', optionlist=[gen_a, gen_b])
-    >>> tf.add_option('backpressure', [None, random_backpressure])
-    >>> tf.add_option(('feature_a', 'feature_b'), [(False, False), (True, False), (True, True)])
-    >>> tf.generate_tests()
-
-    We would get the following tests:
-
-        * ``gen_a`` with no backpressure and both features disabled
-        * ``gen_a`` with no backpressure and only ``feature_a`` enabled
-        * ``gen_a`` with no backpressure and both features enabled
-        * ``gen_a`` with ``random_backpressure`` and both features disabled
-        * ``gen_a`` with ``random_backpressure`` and only ``feature_a`` enabled
-        * ``gen_a`` with ``random_backpressure`` and both features enabled
-        * ``gen_b`` with no backpressure and both features disabled
-        * ``gen_b`` with no backpressure and only ``feature_a`` enabled
-        * ``gen_b`` with no backpressure and both features enabled
-        * ``gen_b`` with ``random_backpressure`` and both features disabled
-        * ``gen_b`` with ``random_backpressure`` and only ``feature_a`` enabled
-        * ``gen_b`` with ``random_backpressure`` and both features enabled
-
-    The tests are appended to the calling module for auto-discovery.

-    the test description) includes the name and description of each generator.
