[yocto] Executing ptest using image test ?

[Koehler, Yannick]

Hi Alexander,

  I had pretty much done all that is documented under 4.21 of this documentation.  I can execute my test within the image using "ptest_runner" and I see it PASS/FAIL according to my test's content.  So that's great, but the problem with this is still that I need to manually invoke qemu and initiate the ptest-runner script.  I would like that to occurs from within the testimage using Image test as describe under https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/Image_tests.  Yet it seems that to get image test support I need to write additional python test scripts which I feel is excessive and since those scripts are not store within the recipe folder, I feel those test are more MACHINE testing than package testing.

  I would like to use 1 python test to execute and report the result of one or more ptest, in the same automatic way image test does.  I cannot see or connect the dot between ptest and image test by reading and re-reading section 4.21.
