It's pure Ruby, no Watir involved.

assert_equal is telling you that your code is yielding a single period
and you told it to expect to find "TEST". That's how all of the
asserts work. (Except plain old "assert", which always yields the
error message "FALSE is not TRUE" which isn't very helpful.)

Pickaxe v.2 has a nice section on unit testing with test/unit along
with all of the forms of 'assert' available.
