 ## Test case format
 
-### `state.ssz_snappy`
+Tests for each individual SSZ type are grouped into a `suite` indicating the SSZ type name.
 
-An SSZ-snappy encoded `BeaconState` object from which other data is generated.
+### `object.yaml`
+
+A SSZ-snappy encoded object from which other data is generated. The SSZ type can be determined from the test `suite` name.
 
 ### `proof.yaml`
 
-A proof of the leaf value (a merkle root) at generalized-index `leaf_index` in the given `state`.
+A proof of the leaf value (a merkle root) at generalized-index `leaf_index` in the given `object`.

 leaf: Bytes32            # string, hex encoded, with 0x prefix
 leaf_index: int          # integer, decimal
-branch: list of Bytes32  # list, each element is a string, hex encoded, with 0x prefix 
+branch: list of Bytes32  # list, each element is a string, hex encoded, with 0x prefix
 ```
 
 ## Condition
 
 A test-runner can implement the following assertions:
 - Check that `is_valid_merkle_branch` confirms `leaf` at `leaf_index` to verify
-  against `has_tree_root(state)` and `proof`.
+  against `hash_tree_root(object)` and `branch`.
 - If the implementation supports generating merkle proofs, check that the
-  self-generated proof matches the `proof` provided with the test.
+  self-generated proof matches the `branch` provided with the test.
