To execute a test, you need to run it as follows:

  Test::Unit::UI::Console::TestRunner.run(test)

Try replacing everything after Dir.chdir TOPDIR with the following:

  Dir["Tests/*.rb"].each {|testfile| load "#{testfile}"}
  [TC_Four,TC_Three,TC_One,TC_Two,].each {|test|
Test::Unit::UI::Console::TestRunner.run(test) }

or if you want to name the files explicitly, you could do:

  testList = %w(Tests/A-test.rb Tests/B-test.rb Tests/C-test.rb Tests/
D-test.rb)
  testList.each {|testfile| load "#{testfile}"}
  [TC_Four,TC_Three,TC_One,TC_Two,].each {|test|
Test::Unit::UI::Console::TestRunner.run(test) }

This loads all the test classes first, then executes them in the order
you specify. Change the order of the classes in the second line if you
want to change the order of the tests.
