1tc Testing Suite To-Do list:
2
3- Determine what tc features are supported in the kernel. If features are not
4  present, prevent the related categories from running.
5
6- Add support for multiple versions of tc to run successively
7
8- Improve error messages when tdc aborts its run.  Partially done - still
9  need to better handle problems in pre- and post-suite.
10
11- Use python logger module for debug/verbose output
12
13- Allow tdc to write its results to file.
14  Maybe use python logger module for this too.
15
16- A better implementation of the "hooks".  Currently, every plugin
17  will attempt to run a function at every hook point.  Could be
18  changed so that plugin __init__ methods will register functions to
19  be run in the various predefined times.  Then if a plugin does not
20  require action at a specific point, no penalty will be paid for
21  trying to run a function that will do nothing.
22
23- Proper exception handling - make an exception class and use it
24
25- a TestCase class, for easier testcase handling, searching, comparison
26
27- a TestSuite class
28  and a way to configure a test suite,
29  to automate running multiple "test suites" with different requirements
30
31- super simple test case example using ls, touch, etc
