Test clarification

[John A Meinel]

I just wanted to try and get a consistent use of:

self.assertEquals(a, b)

Should a or b be the "expected" value.

For example, should the test be written:

a = somecommand()
self.assertEquals(a, 'this text')

or

a = somecommand()
self.assertEquals('this text', a)


The former makes a little bit more sense in a "assert a equals b". Which
has the feeling that a should be the one doing the equaling.

It would be nice if tests were consistent about it, though. So when you
look at the errors, you know which one is incorrect.
