@Nick – yeh I think you're right that would work better. Not sure why I didn't see that!

Couldn't you just as easily pass the result of the called function to assertEquals? TestCase("Common", { testShouldDoSomeStuff:function(){ var common = new Common(); assertEquals("expected value",common.Method("some value")); assertEquals("expected value",common.Method("some value")); } };

you would not need call/apply if u do this.
function Common() {
var self = this;
this.OtherMethod = function(value) {
// do some manipulation on value
return someMagicalNewValue;
};

this.Method = function(value) {
return self.OtherMethod(value);
};

};

and always use 'self' to refer to common.
