Overview

The migration is pretty straightforward:

  1. create new test file in `xxx/tests/yyy_test.php`
  2. copy contents of the old test file
  3. replace extends UnitTestCase with extends basic_testcase and extends UnitTestCaseUsingDatabase with extends advanced_testcase
  4. move constructor code to setUp
  5. fix setUp(), tearDown()
  6. fix assert syntax
  7. add $this->resetAfterTest() in advanced test cases that modify database
  8. add missing global $CFG for includes outside of testcase classes

Assert differences
