Its referring to the ptest runner and ptest output we've previously
discussed. Its a simple standard but it is none the less a standard! :)

One other thing which may be of interest is all our test results for
all our builds are added to a git repository:

http://git.yoctoproject.org/cgit.cgi/yocto-testresults/

(they're stored in a json format). We don't have good tools to analyse
this yet but we are at least storing them.

Cheers,
