Might be a little late as I see you have already done a link to libtap but I'm not sure that output like

1..4
ok 1 - Basic arithmetic works
ok 2 - Doing something as root
ok 3 - Did something else as root
ok 4 - The answer's correct

Is any good as each test has tells you it was okay, when really you only care if one fails. With small numbers of tests that isn't an issue but as you reach the hundreds of tests it will make it hard to see the signal from the noise.

It might be possible to change the output style, I don't know a whole lot about libtap in which case it looks reasonable enough.

It's a modular system, that output is standardised and you run the tests
with a harness to get just a summary, but I'm not bothering to set up that
part until we have some tests.

As of a8ad03d we have a minimal unit testing framework, now just to add tests, thousands of tests...
