- Helpful error reporting to aid on figuring problems out
- Richer test helpers: assertions which interrupt the test immediately,
  deep multi-type comparisons, string matching, etc
- Suite-based grouping of tests
- Fixtures: per suite and/or per test set up and tear down
- Benchmarks integrated in the suite logic (with fixtures, etc)
- Management of temporary directories
- Panic-catching logic, with proper error reporting
- Proper counting of successes, failures, panics, missed tests, skips, etc
