test frameworks

[Joe Brenner]

A few years ago, there was a discussion of developing a
framework for automated tests of emacs:

Has any progress been made in that direction?

There's a number of contenders for a test framework up on the emacs wiki
page for Unit Testing:

But it's not clear if anyone has made any effort toward
evaluating them.  After a quick look at their write-ups, none of
them grab my attention as being obvious contenders.

For example, it doesn't look to me like any of them use TAP, the
"Test Anything Protocol":
