+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:
+
+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.
