    • Test.ANY( ) — The most basic unit test mode...
    • Test.EXPECT( ) — Causes the test to fail if it does not generate the specified number of results...
    • Test.ASYNCH( ) — Causes a test to keep running until it either passes, fails or times-out...
    • Test.APPEND( ) — Appends results to a specific asynchronous test session...
  • Unit Tests — The unit test function, responsible for performing one or more Test Assertions...
  • Test Assertions — Assertions are used to perform various tests and annotations within a unit test...
    • comment( ) — Adds a comment to the test results...
    • ok( ) — A simple state checking assertion...
