Unit Testing

[Soft]

Currently we have basic tests for backends in place. However, actually running these tests is arguably cumbersome as it requires a lot of setup, you have to have the patched kernel in place etc. It would be nice if we had some unit testing that maybe validated backend logic without actually requiring all the difficult-to-setup dependencies. This would make it easier to automatically run tests on the committed code. For this to work, we would likely have to mock some of the libraries.

I created this issue to track the progress of our efforts in testing Nitro.

I've started working on getting unit tests done at unit-tests branch. It is still very early but I hope to get them in a some what good state during the week.
