@@ -2,17 +2,25 @@ This testsuite is quite obviously a work in progress. As such,
there are a number of good extensions. If you are looking for
something to do, feel free to tackle one or more of the following:
-Buildroot support
- Erik has put together a handy package for constructing and
- testing busybox called buildroot. Integrating this into
- the testsuite would allow for greater test coverage (e.g.,
- init, mount, and other privileged applications).
+Moving to the new format.
+ The old way was "lots of little tests files in a directory", which
+ doesn't interact well with source control systems. The new test
+ format is command.tests files that use testing.sh.
+
+Every busybox applet needs a corresponding applet.tests.
+
+Full SUSv3 test suite.
+ Let's make the Linux Test Project jealous, shall we? Don't just
+ audit programs for standards compliance, _prove_ it with a regression
+ test harness.
+
+ http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/009695399/utilities/
+
+Some tests need root access.
+ It's hard to test things like mount or init as a normal user.
+ Possibly User Mode Linux could be used for this, or perhaps
+ Erik's buildroot.
libbb unit testing
Being able to test the functions of libbb individually may
help to prevent regressions.

-Standardization
- This testsuite is totally bastardized. It would be better
- to use an existing test framework, such as dejagnu, greg,
- or a XUnit clone (shunit?).
