+The description of the tests for the InnerClasses attribute.
+
+InnerClassesTestBase is the base class for tests of inner classes attribute.
+Each tests extends the base class.
+The scenario of tests:
+    1. set possible values of class modifiers, outer/inner class types.
+    2. according to set class modifiers, a test generates sources
+       and golden data with generateTestCases.
+    3. a test loops through all test cases and checks InnerClasses attribute in method test().
+
+Example, possible flags for outer class are Modifier.PRIVATE and Modifier.PUBLIC,
+possible flags for inner class are Modifier.EMPTY, outer class type is CLASS
+and inner class type is CLASS.
+At the second step the test generates two test cases:
+  1. public class A {
+       public class B {
+         class C {}
+        }
+     }
+  2. public class A {
+       private class B {
+         class C {}
+       }
+     }
+
+The list of tests.
+
+Test: test if there is not inner class, the InnerClasses attribute
+is not generated (NoInnerClasses.java).
+
+Test: inner classes in anonymous class (InnerClassesInAnonymousClassTest.java).
+Possible access flags of the inner class: abstract and final.
+
+Test: inner classes in local class (InnerClassesInLocalClassTest.java).
+Locations of local class: static and instance initializer, constructor, method, lambda,
+default and static methods of interface.
+
+Test: test the outer_class_info_index and inner_name_index of
+local and anonymous classes (InnerClassesIndexTest.java).
+
