Writing tests is not easy, currently. There is the https://github.com/kinode-dao/core_tests repo, which can be used as an example, but it is more made for function than example. There is a lot of boilerplate.
This has led to an easier testing method for simple tests: just write in-Kinode script(s) that do whatever thing and output the result.
This is fine, but indicates that there is room to make run-tests easier to use OR provide some other tool(s) to make this lightweight testing easier.
One possibility is a lighter-weight framework/tool.
Another possibility is to make use of our template system in kit new to provide templates for tests -- this gets rid of a lot of the problem wrt boilerplate, since you can just get the template and modify it for your needs.
