Description
If you add testcases for a class which has its own constructor with some parameters the setup method of the testcase class calls the constructor of the base class instead of your own one.
Steps to Reproduce:
1. write a class with a constructor with at
   least one parameter. The class inherits
   directly from TObject.

2. make a testproject and add testcases for
   your class

3. look at the generated setup method. It will
   call create instead of create(myparam) for
   instance.
Workarounds
alter the call in such a way that it calls
your constructor instead of the inherited one from tObject.

How is it supposed to know what parameter to use in the generated code?

I don't see how this could be achieve with the wizard unless the wizard asked for what parameters to use for the constructor.

I don't know either but as it is it's a trap for every programmer. Maybe a Create(?) should be inserted so it fails compilation and reminds the programmer to do a proper initialization himself.
