Hi Abdelghani, I don’t have immediate access to earlier versions of SUnit (oh, that it were on GitHub!), but my recollection is that TestCase was originally a root class but duplicate code with TestResource inspired a refactoring that called for a common superclass. The name TestAsserter was chosen to reflect the common behavior.
