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.
