As part of the solution to replace Testopia to store testresult, OEQA need to output testresult into single json file, where json testresult file will be stored in git repository by the future test-case-management tools. The json testresult file will store more than one set of results, where each set of results was uniquely identified by the result_id. The result_id would be like "runtime-qemux86-core-image-sato", where it was a runtime test with target machine equal to qemux86 and running on core-image-sato image. The json testresult file will only store the latest test content for a given result_id. The json testresult file contains the configuration (eg. COMMIT, BRANCH, MACHINE, IMAGE), result (eg. PASSED, FAILED, ERROR), test log, and result_id. Based on the destination json testresult file directory provided, it could have multiple instances of bitbake trying to write json testresult to a single testresult file, using locking a lockfile alongside the results file directory to prevent races. Also the library class inside this patch will be reused by the future test-case-management tools to write json testresult for manual test case executed.

= OEQA (v2) Framework =
== Introduction ==
This is version 2 of the OEQA framework. Base clases are located in the 'oeqa/core' directory and subsequent components must extend from these.
The main design consideration was to implement the needed functionality on top of the Python unittest framework. To achieve this goal, the following modules are used:
* oeqa/core/runner.py: Provides OETestResult and OETestRunner base
classes extending the unittest class. These classes support exporting
results to different formats; currently RAW and XML support exist.
* oeqa/core/loader.py: Provides OETestLoader extending the unittest class.
It also features a unified implementation of decorator support and
filtering test cases.
* oeqa/core/case.py: Provides OETestCase base class extending
unittest.TestCase and provides access to the Test data (td), Test context
and Logger functionality.
* oeqa/core/decorator: Provides OETestDecorator, a new class to implement
decorators for Test cases.
* oeqa/core/context: Provides OETestContext, a high-level API for
loadTests and runTests of certain Test component and
OETestContextExecutor a base class to enable oe-test to discover/use
the Test component.
Also, a new 'oe-test' runner is located under 'scripts', allowing scans for components that supports OETestContextExecutor (see below).
== Terminology ==
* Test component: The area of testing in the Project, for example: runtime, SDK, eSDK, selftest.
* Test data: Data associated with the Test component. Currently we use bitbake datastore as
a Test data input.
* Test context: A context of what tests needs to be run and how to do it; this additionally
provides access to the Test data and could have custom methods and/or attrs.
== oe-test ==
The new tool, oe-test, has the ability to scan the code base for test components and provide a unified way to run test cases. Internally it scans folders inside oeqa module in order to find specific classes that implement a test component.
== Usage ==
Executing the example test component
$ source oe-init-build-env
$ oe-test core
Getting help
$ oe-test -h
== Creating new Test Component ==
Adding a new test component the developer needs to extend OETestContext/OETestContextExecutor (from context.py) and OETestCase (from case.py)
== Selftesting the framework ==
Run all tests:
$ PATH=$PATH:../../ python3 -m unittest discover -s tests
Run some test:
$ cd tests/
$ ./test_data.py
