Description
Currently, RIOT's unittests test application consists of many tests for different parts of the system, e.g., tests-core or tests-relic.
By default all of them (that are compatible with the target board) are built into one big binary, but they can also be built seperately.
There are several issues with this;
The one advantage of having a big binary is just that there's only one binary.
I propose splitting the unittests, turning each of
tests-*into it's own application.What do you think?
