That's a good idea for a start.

The easiest way to understand how to add a new test is to read commits
that change tests subdirectory.  There are some variations, for example,
some tests have static [syscall].expected while others generate it
dynamically in [syscall].test, but you'll get the idea.
For the majority of tests you don't have to be familiar with autotools
to add a new test.
