The problem is suppose the tests need tool or framework 'X' in order
to run the tests.

If I was using RPM %check, then I would add:

  BuildRequires: X

But (I assume?) BuildRequires won't be installed in this testing
environment, so I now have to add instead:

  Requires: X

That has obvious problems.
