+shelltestrunner (executable: shelltest) is a portable
+command-line tool for testing command-line programs, or general shell
+commands, released under GPLv3+.  It reads simple test specifications

+with a timeout, in color, etc. 
+Projects using it include hledger, Agda, and berp.

+The last release was 1.3.5, in 2015. The new version is 1.9, which
