Unit test challenge failed

For some reason this unit test failed to pass the challenge It asked for one that tested 10-10 is 0 but seems to say that it can't find the expected tests. No idea why?

tests.py 
import unittest


class SimpleTestCase(unittest.TestCase):
    def little_test(self):
        assert 10-10 == 0

the exact wording of the challenge is: "Create a TestCase named SimpleTestCase with a simple test that asserts that 10 - 10 is 0." and the response is: " Bummer! Didn't find the expected tests"

unittest only recognizes tests prefixed with "test_" so you'll need to reverse the name:

def test_little(self):

corret answer

import unittest

class SimpleTestCase(unittest.TestCase): def test_10_minus_10(self): assert 10-10 == 0
