\begin{DoxyItemize}
\item \href{http://pythonpaste.org/scripttest/}{\tt http\+://pythonpaste.\+org/scripttest/}
\begin{DoxyItemize}
\item easy to work with
\item can only trace a single directory (would not work with /etc + $\sim$)
\item extra dependency not in any distro
\end{DoxyItemize}
\item robotframework
\begin{DoxyItemize}
\item additional (fat) dependency
\item integration with cmake?
\item does not allow to capture stdout, stderr + return code
\end{DoxyItemize}
\item expect
\begin{DoxyItemize}
\item interactive testing (e.\+g. for kdb mount)
\item quite long for simple things (e.\+g. check /bin/true needs 4 lines)
\item new syntax for Elektra (T\+C\+L)
\item additional dependency
