In AUnit, tests are 'registered' in a test_case:

   overriding procedure Register_Tests (T : in out Test_Case)
   is
   begin
        Register_Routine (T, Nominal'Access, "Nominal");
        Register_Routine (T, Commands'Access, "Commands");
        Register_Routine (T, Glitches'Access, "Glitches");
        Register_Routine (T, Multi_Cycle'Access, "Multi_Cycle");
  end Register_Tests;

Then test_cases are added to suites:

   Add_Test (Suite, new Test_Hardware.Analog_In_Out_Wrappers.Test_Case);
   Add_Test (Suite, new Test_Hardware.Analog_In_Wrapper_Common.Test_Case);
   Add_Test (Suite, new Test_Hardware.Analog_Out_Wrapper_Common.Test_Case);

This seems roughly equivalent to Ahven. 

AUnit also has setup and teardown functions for initializing and finalizing
each test and/or each Test_Case; those are very helpful.
