Eventually, I would expect that the script would either print "Test passed"
or "Test failed".

The command that we execute returns return values. We can store that return
value in the variables as $var = < mkfile --size 2m /tmp/img >;

That is trivial I guess. The $var == 0 may then be used to provide with
test pass or fail. I will add this example however as you have advised.
