You can look at some of the DUB packages: 
http://code.dlang.org/search?q=test for more advanced testing 
facilities.

I for example sometimes use dunit 
(https://github.com/nomad-software/dunit) which has nice test 
results reporting:

By the way, looking at the code, it shouldn't be too hard to 
write your own test runner:
