I was just removing the Personally Identifiable Information.  Each test is pulling a payment from a batch of payments, 
so the first couple asserts are simply making sure I have the payment I think I have, then I run the routine that is 
supposed to match that payment with a bunch of invoices, and then I test to make sure I got back the invoices that I 
have manually verified are the correct ones to be returned.

There are many different tests because there are many different paths through the code, depending on exactly which 
combination of insanities the bank, the customer, and the company choose to inflict at that moment.  ;)
