No, unit test no.What sbase needs is functional tests. Take a look to
[1], [2] and [3]. You don't need anything else.

They are totally bloated. You don't need a framework, you only need a shell
script that returns success or fail for every test. and after that, you only
have to run over all the test files in the directory.

Totally bloated. If you want, you can take a look to the full test structure
in scc.
