I've been working on LTP for a about three years now and we happen to do
quite a lot in that time. The most visible changes would be more proper
development practices (git, proper build system, code review, LKML
coding style, documentation, ...) and also huge number of fixes. Now we
are trying to catch up in coverage too.

Well LTP mostly consists of functional tests, so that would fit the
purpose very well.
