If you just want it for one test case, then just add it to that test 
case. Only methods that start with the name "test" are actually run. You 
can add as many other helper methods case as you want.

If you want to use it in more than one test case then do the following...

class TimerTest extends UnitTestCase {
     function TimerTest() {
         $this->UnitTestCase();
     }
     function assertNow( .. ) { ... }
}
SimpleTestOptions::ignore('TimerTest');

class SomeTests extends TimerTest {
     function SomeTests() {
         $this->TimerTest();
     }
     function testStuff() {
         $this->assertNow( ... );
     }
}

The ignore option tells SimpleTest not to run the test case so that it 
doesn't interfere with the rest of the test suite. It would increase the 
test case count for example.
