Great news, I settled on a design that works around a number of the issues I've had to deal with. After a few days of hacking away I now have a function unit testing framework working, including a small battery of unit tests for the framework. I've got some code clean up to do and then some docs to write on how to write tests in this framework (I had to make a few steps away from the traditional xUnit approach, but they're not too bad). Hopefully I should have everything ready to post in the next day or two, assuming no major distractions.

Mark, this is great news! I am a brand new (minutes only) developer on this platform, and I was a little surprised to see that BrightScript is the only game in town. As a hard-core test-driven developer, some flavor of xUnit is a must. I am very grateful to you for explaining this all to the Roku developer community, and I want to encourage you to publish your code.
I shall now sit down and reread the whole thread, and offer feedback if I can.
