Hi Sean,

thanks for your effort.

You do not need the indirection via main()...run()...test() if you have all in 1 file. This was only 
necessary to feature a general usability of InfraStructure. You can go back to David's 1 + 1 nested 
class approach replacing TConcurrentHashMapX by TestCollection and maybe rename realMain() to test().
Additionally, loading 4 classes for 1 test would have some performance impact on the test run, which 
could be avoided.

This field would serve to "reset" the TestCollection to fixed default size without the need of new 
instantiation for later refactoring or testcase addition.

As just discussed before, the doc for setSizeSequence() could be little more specific:
   71         /*
   72          * Sets the values that size() will return on each use. The first
   73          * call to size will return sizes[0], then sizes[1] etc. This
   74          * allows us to emulate a concurrent change to the contents of
   75          * the collection without having to perform concurrent changes.
   76          * If sizes[n+1] contains a larger value than on last n-th invocation,
   77          * the collection will appear to have shrunk when iterated; if a
   78          * smaller value then the collection will appear to have grown.
   79          * When the last element of sizes is reached, the collection will
   80          * appear size-fixed.
   81          */

Good idea, to repeat these links.
