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?). |
