A case that exhibits all the possible conditions a subject can suffer from?
We have this Hungarian phrase "Állatorvosi ló", which literally translates to "Veterinarian horse".
It originated in 19th century Hungarian literature, when someone created an illustration of a horse that exhibited all the possible external and internal sicknesses a horse can have.
Nowadays it is used to describe all the possible (negative) conditions something can have.
In our concrete case, we're doing software testing for a CAT (Computer Aided Translation) software that has a QA module; and we're going to build a special project (the 'vetenarian horse') that exhibits all the possible errors the QA module can throw at us.
What would be an idiomatic word or phrase to express that?

polypathological test case - having multiple chronic aliments

basket case - in a completely hopeless or useless condition
Solution 2:
"Case study" http://www.thefreedictionary.com/case+study "Before they lost their independence, [the two companies] were case studies in unsuccessful long-term planning" (T. Boone Pickens, Jr.)" So as showing all the symptoms of unsuccessful long-term planning.
