Description

TestSlide has a hacky support for TestCase.assert* methods. While this works, it prevents users from tweaking things such as maxDiff.

The proposed solution to fix this is:

With that, users should be able to do self.test_case.maxDiff = new_value.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Understand the current hacky implementation of TestCase.assert methods and implement the proposed changes to allow configuration of unittest.TestCase attributes like maxDiff.
