It is up to you to define your requirements that such tests must meet.

It makes no real sense to perform a write testing  on  flash  memory,
for  example,  as  you must erase the flash to write it, and erase it
again to write it again, and the fact that you can write it now is no
guarantee that it is still erasable the next time.

U-Boot offers to check the integrity of the stiored data using  CRC32
checksums; this is even integral part of the U-Boot images.

If you need more or other features: feel free to add those.

Best regards,

Wolfgang Denk
