Great work, I like this! Something definitely needed to be done to simplify this and I believe this is the right approach.  This is one of those tweaks that need to be made early on before things just get way out of control.  The only thing I'm debating about from a design standpoint is whether or not we should distinguish between errors and updates.  I agree that duplicate messages should go away.  There is absolutely no reason to send the same message twice, but would it be helpful to be able to easily identify error messages from other messages if we are going to allow everything to go to the same place?


/trunk/include/asterisk/test.h

    Should we const the ast_test in these macros? I guess since we don't define the ast_test in the header the test functions don't actually know what an ast_test is, but it would be nice if they couldn't modify it at all.



/trunk/main/test.c
<https://reviewboard.asterisk.org/r/493/#comment3341>

    This is going to contain a log of updates as well as errors.  Will that make this field more verbose than necessary?



/trunk/tests/test_utils.c
<https://reviewboard.asterisk.org/r/493/#comment3340>

    All these double \n or log strings beginning with a \n need to change to just being the log sting ending with a single \n.  This was my code, and it is dumb. We probably don't even need all these status updates on success to begin with.  If you don't change this I will afterwards.

In a lot of cases, the same message was being sent to both.  In other cases, it was only sent to one or the other.  My opinion now is that in every case, I think it makes sense to do both; we should output it to the CLI as well as save it off for logging purposes.
