What are you trying to test? If you want to test that some other code
talks to the create() method correctly, then I would check that it's
called appropriately and pre-load the result. The point is to mock up
the environment around so that you can isolate the code under test. On
the other hand, if it's easy to create and instance and you don't need
to do anything with it in the rest of the test, then maybe you could
just assert that the object returned from create() is of the right type?

Do you have an example?
