        if (this == obj) {
            return true;
        }
        if (!(obj instanceof Test)) {
            return false;
        }
        Test testOther = (Test) obj;
        return (a != null ? a.equals(testOther.a) : testOther.a == null)
                && (b == testOther.b)
                && (c != null ? c.equals(testOther.c) : testOther.c == null)
                && (d != null ? d.equals(testOther.d) : testOther.d == null);
    }
