+    register:
+     - executable?
+ 
+  * Metainformation:
+    - duration: ....
+    - resources:
+    - suites:
+ 
+    Helpers:
+    - assess resources/performance:
+ 
+  * Invocation:
+    - single package tests
+    - all (with -f to force even if resources are not sufficient)
+    - given specific resources demands, just run
+      the ones matching those
+ 
+  * Customization/Output:
+    - plugins
+      + output: some structured output
+      + interface to some dashboard
+ 
+  * Debug symbols: ....
+    - do not strip symbols from test binary
+    - 
+ 
+  * Implementation language:
+    - Python unless someone takes the burden to develop
+      and maintain for upcoming years.
