Description
The CLI provides a useful, but limited testing library for developers, called `dev-container-features-test-lib` to use in test.sh
I propose to add a proper, widely used bash library or framework, so testing can be more reliable.
Suggestions about which framework or library to use, or which possibilities it should have are welcome.
I myself think of 2 options:
1. A library like the one that is used now, but much more reliable and extended. The code is run first, and than the result is checked by assertion commands.
2. A Unit testing framework that can be used for to test the code in isolated parts. It does not run the code first, but checks every function separately.
I think option 1 is fine for now. But if there is demand for Unit testing, we better integrate it right away.
