AFAIK the Test::Unit framework always terminates a test method at the  
first failure. To get what I think you are looking for, you might  
write something like:

<code--not tested>
def test_fields_present
    ['jobid', 'company'].each do |field|
       assert(@reply_form.has_field?(field), "Field missing: #{field}")
    end
end
def test_fields_missing
    ['replyaddr', 'SEEKER_CC', 'RESUME_FILE'].each do |field|
       assert(not @reply_form.has_field?(field), "Field present: # 
{field}")
    end
end
