Using the TET/VSXgen framework makes sense if the tests you are writing
are designed as a module to fit in with other TET/VSXgen modules
(vsx-pcts1990, lsb-os, lsb-fhs. lsb-pam, lsb-usrgroups). So yes if you
want your tests to merge with lsb-runtime then its  a reasonable
approach.
The initd tests in work-in-progress (wip) are another example of a test
module for use with TET/VSXgen
http://cvs.gforge.freestandards.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/tests/lsb-runtime-test/wip/initd/?cvsroot=lsb

If you want to do your own framework then thats fine, the main
requirement is to produce a results journal using the TET format so it
can be parsed by other tools
