If the assertion wraps across multiple lines, could you reserve a line for each argument (and observe the two-space indentation convention)? e.g.

```diff
- assert.ok(activityObj.name === 'record',
-          'the activity name should be record.');
+ assert.equal(
+   activityObj.name,
+   'record',
+   'the activity name should be record.'
+ );
```
