Basically, to start putting together a test suite for, say, class Foo,

	1. subclass TestCase, say, TestFoo.

	2. create methods in TestFoo, typically small bytesize tests, name 
each method test***, for exampe: testInitWithBlank testInitWithArray 
testBorderChecking, and so forth.  Each method will make use of either 
the assert:, should:, shouldn't: and some of the more sophisticated 
methods -- read the code in TestCase for examples.  Read the beck paper 
and learn how to build scaffolds and the like to use these tools in a 
subtler, more sophisticated fashion, but for now, set up some test 
cases.  Beck has a useful article at:

		http://www.xprogramming.com/testfram.htm

	3. open a GUI, TestModel openAsMorph will do.  Click run (It will 
run all tests in the system).   If you want a more refined or narrow 
group of tests, adjust the filter to, say:

		TestFoo.test*

Those are the basics.  Take a look at the example in the TestSuit itself.
