  - text: Choose the right assertion - equal vs. notEqual
    testString: getUserInput => $.get(getUserInput('url') + '/_api/get-tests?type=unit&n=4').then(data => {  assert.equal(data.assertions[0].method, 'equal', 'Numbers are coerced into strings with == '); }, xhr => { throw new Error(xhr.responseText); })
