Thanks for clearing that up. A lot of the content in the dynamic suite
really looks like it could be broken out into smaller unit tests also.
Well
"Dynamic Plugins" was a big change, so we wanted to test all the
major plugins. Actually I was going to use the Dynamic Plugins suite as
a template to start writing the individual plugin tests.
Please checkout:
http://www.port389.org/docs/389ds/howto/howto-write-lib389.html
It tells how to use the setup script to create a testcase, and common
procedures. Then I would copy the MEP plugin test from Dynamic plugins
to start your new test script.

I would be interested to know when you have a MEP test suite available.
I noticed some edge cases with MEP in production, and wanted to write
tests before I started to cut code to fix these issues.
Until then, do you think it suitable to add my extra use cases into the
dynamic suite and just test using that?
