You should be creating a subclass of Test::Unit::TestCase in your file  
and defining tests within that.

# in a file named my_test.rb (just convention, call it fred.rb if you  
like)

require 'test/unit'

class MyTest < Test::Unit::TestCase

   def test_starting_simple
     assert_equal(true, true)
   end

end
__END__

Then run that file with "ruby ./my_test.rb" to get:

$ ruby ./my_test.rb
Loaded suite ./my_test
Started
.
Finished in 0.000476 seconds.

1 tests, 1 assertions, 0 failures, 0 errors


That should get you going.
