Description Cathy Shen 2015-10-11 13:56:48 UTC
The usage is:
One test case need to have multiple and kinds of DUTs involved, they either report status or response to test command, co-work with each other to complete one test case.

*Communicate simultaneously with multiple DUTs in one case
*The communication methods might be different with different DUTs
*Be able to check the result for every step
*Consolidate the test log and result in one file with formal format, which is easy to be parsed by a script or consumed by another visualization tool.

We will discuss if this is in the scope of the Yocto Project.

Per talks with the current owner, this bug will move to a future time.
Comment 4 Richard Purdie 2018-08-09 15:13:01 UTC
Closing as the reasons for this bug are fairly obsolete now. If we do ever need this functionality, patches will be proposed through the normal development process.
