I guess the tests could be made much more tight. E.g. by not only checking passes/fails verification, but also checking the exact errors reported (for tests that just check that verify "failed", without checking the exact errors, it may happen the verification fails for a wrong reason). And the tests could probably be made much broader.

But I don't think that needs to happen here.
