The CppSuite framework code provides default implementations for the following operations: populate, insert, update, remove. The expectation was that the majority of tests would only need to overload 1 or maybe 2 of these operations. However a number of tests have been written recently that overload most of the operations.

This could be caused by a few things but the main likely reason is that the default implementation doesn't meet the needs of the test writer.

I think there would be value in re-visiting the default implementations and seeing if we can incorporate features that would make them use-able by the tests that are overloading them.

Some common examples are:

• Update being overloaded as it utilizes the database_model key count
• Populate being overloaded as it utilizes key ids instead of randomized keys

Scope:

• Investigate tests with a large number of overloaded operations
• Try to improve the default implementation
• Remove the overloaded implementation
