RUnit is alive and well, look at
https://cran.r-project.org/package=RUnit
https://cran.r-project.org/web/checks/check_results_RUnit.html
which shows all its checks are clean. It also has a new maintainer in Roman
Zenka (who too has code that uses it) so I would not be worried.

There is no offically sanctioned package in WRE for this as far as I know.
If you run 'make check' on R itself, all the package in base R check via
.Rout.save files -- which makes sense as we want no / few external
dependencies at this level.
In short, you are free to use what you prefer. I still use RUnit too.
