Proposed Changes

We have a custom assertHttpStatus() test method which simply compares the HTTP status of a received response to an expected value. A common scenario is to expect a 302 (redirect) response e.g. when creating a new object, but receive a 200 (OK) response when form validation fails. However, no further information about the failure is provided. We can extend this method to automatically extract and display relevant error messages.

Justification

Returning any detected form errors directly obviates the need for hacking on tests and re-running them to get more verbose output in response to a failure.
