It's great to see the Test Anything Protocol[1] being used outside of the Perl world.

TAP allows you to detect when an assertion hasn't run (you declare the number of tests upfront and each test is numbered).

It's also really helpful to have test output be in a format that's both machine- and human-readable so that other tooling can consume your test runs.
