Personally I think that SUnit needs love.
- The API is clearly not clear (just see: the command line handler, smalltalk ci, calypso and the test runner tool use different APIs that are not equivalent and do not go through the same hooks)
- The existing hooks are not enough and not well documented, other than overriding #runCase:, how can we define parameterizable tests for example?
With Julien (in cc) we were thinking some improvements on this front. He has a new UI for the test runner that is cleaner and will allow having different backends (which will mean also that we will need to clarify the API).
I think in Pharo7 there have been some improvements in the assertions front?

#assert:equals: is very nice, showing you a diff browser - I kind of expect the opposite to be there, but it all looks like a bit of mess with assert vs should and deny vs shouldn���t -did we change tact somewhere over the years and not deprecate stuff?
