There is a tradeoff made though, by lumping more tests in a single test application the test complexity increases, and test failures become slightly harder to investigate. I guess it makes sense to have these combined tests like spmutex01 after the components-under-test have been fully developed, but it does make debugging an individual component more difficult.
