I have written a book about RubyUnit. The book describes internal 
design of RubyUnit.
Unfortunately,
 * The book is written by Japanese.
 * When I wrote the book, RubyUnit version was 0.3.0.
   The latest version of RubyUnit is 0.5.2, so the internal design 
   and features written in the book are different from the 
   latest version.

Dose RUNIT::CUI::TestRunner.run help?

How about rubyunit.rb?
In order to run suite, the only thing to do is require rubyunit.rb.
The rubyunit.rb comes with the latest version of RubyUnit.
The following script run suite and report the result.

  require 'rubyunit'
  class TestFoo < RUNIT::TestCase
    def test_foo
      assert(true)
    end
  end
