Good. You do not need to write "check" after "TESTS=", but it is OK anyway.

I'm sure that the testing suite does not depend on bash...

I believe that most of the binaries allow some parameter specification,
but they'll perform a standard test if you run them with none.
Moreover I believe that almost all failures would be easily detectable
(the test-program writes something, or it crashes, or it "loops
forever"...).
But this is not documented, i.e. there can be some tests (in the current
or in other versions) that behave differently.
