Node packages usually have tests, for most packages we have test suites packaged already (mocha, tap, chai), but still many test suites are not packaged (ava, tape, lab etc). If we package these test suites and use tools like build-and-upload from pkg-ruby-extras, we can solve these issues to a large extend.
