You can just look in the header file (Testing.h) to see exactly what it does, 
but the summary is that it starts a region of code with an autorelease pool and 
exception handler and some bookkeeping to track things like the duration of 
tests.
Failed set generally means that an exception occurred somewhere in the region 
betwen the start and the end.  The full log may tell you where/what the 
exceptionb was.
