If you expect your test case to fail unless a given condition is met, you can

if the assumption is true, the test case is run as a normal test case. If

PS regarding the naming: the message #assumeThat: has been preferred over a

Thanks Adrian. All your improvments are really cool. The only thing that I am concerned is that if I change all my tests to this style, Squeak people won't be able to run the tests� :(�� because that method won't be understood. Anyway, I will si what can I do.
