Yeah, I think it is ideal for testing simple cases right now. In Katello 
system test we need to capture output sometimes, store it in a variable 
(like REPO_ID) and use it later.

Would be nice to support some kind of automatic recipe recording. Then 
it would be easy-peasy to create a test suite. Variable storing should 
not be hard to add. The tool should also check exit codes along with the 
stdout. And maybe the tool could return number of failed tests on exit 
(not sure if it does it).

But I am not the one choosing right QA tools ;-) We (devs) just have 
some bash code to test our cli. I am not sure how our QAs are going to 
test it, but its definitely a good starting point for them.
