Possibly; sounds like something for on-discuss, where the gatekeepers
hang out.

No. Design of tests is really a project team responsibility (and
certainly not an ARC issue that should be discussed here), but, if
this were my project, I would suggest at least two tests:
- Modify a normally-installed SXCE system by copying over just the
binaries from this project (_not_ BFU). Then use Live Upgrade to
upgrade an ABE to the next build (manually modified to include the
project bits), activate that BE, and reboot. This should provide
minimal assurance that the upgrade scripts and post-reboot actions
all work properly. It's fairly straightforward work.
- Modify a normally-installed OpenSolaris system by copying over
just the binaries from this project. Then use the "pkg
image-update" command to upgrade the system to a private
repository containing the modified bits and reboot. (I don't know
off-hand how hard it is to create modified repositories; asking
the OpenSolaris team for help would probably be the right next
step.)

Talk with your sponsor. Part of the responsibility of a sponsor is
making sure that internal tests get run.

That sounds like a good idea.
