I'm not certain whether this is true of the LTP tests or not, but with
the perl Test-based suite, after running the top-level make test and
seeing the summary of success/failures, I could drop into the individual
subdirectories of any failed test and run the script by hand there to
get more verbose output about the nature of the failure.  So the
testsuite could operate as a whole with summary data or as independent
units with greater detail, all using the same infrastructure.
