With the refactor of oeqa to use a common framework for selftest, sdk, and runtime, the current oe-selftest code must be migrated to use the new framework. Unlike sdk and runtime, selftest has a lot of features that need to be migrated, that would take some time to implement.
This work has been implemented mostly by Anibal and series has been sent to the mailing list: http://lists.openembedded.org/pipermail/openembedded-core/2017-May/137195.html
