-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.

+
+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?).
