Let's say I install modules Foo, Bar, and Baz. Later, I install Quux. It would be nice if I could easily rerun the tests for Foo, Bar and Baz to make sure Quux didn't break anything. That's why it would be nice to cleanly install the tests somewhere. That was I can find out if installing new modules breaks any modules I already have installed. That's the basic problem.

However, let's say when installing Bar that it had three test failures but when I checked, it turns out that those were simply bad tests. I would need some way of tracking those failures so that running tests against my already installed modules has some way of letting me know if I get different failures. It would be nice if no modules ever failed their tests, but this frequently is not an option (or I could simply not bother to install any tests which fail).
