Yes, I used the automake-style "(PASS|FAIL): <testcase>" format.

In addition to that, before/after each package test suite is started, "(BEGIN|END): <package>" is printed. So a typical output looks like this (paraphrased):

BEGIN: bash
PASS: test1
FAIL: test2
PASS: test3
END: bash
BEGIN: busybox
PASS: test1
FAIL: test2
END: busybox
