Sample CGI for use with Unit Tests

I've been looking for examples of how to run unit tests on a CGI. Didn't find any so I came up with this pared down sample. Don't know where to post example code so I figured I'd just email it to this list. Perhaps it will be findable by others in the future. This CGI with unit test example

Anything equivalent to cassert in C++?
