Bug ID: 1375
Summary: Make limited use of "per testsuite" conf files.
Product: DPDK
Version: unspecified
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: Normal
Component: dts

Target Milestone: ---

There will be examples of testsuite which require some divserse input on a per testsuite or environment basis (setting expected baselines for a testsuite in perf testing is one example). So, we are going to be doing this at some point anyways, and I think it is okay to do so now with functional tests too if it can help make testsuites more concise.

I don't want this suggestion to be conflated with our previous discussion about building a YAML schema and intepreter for taking testsuite parameters and also python functions and mapping that to a python testsuite. I think it's clear based on our 1/24 meeting that we are not going in that direction. However, we probably do need per-testsuite conf files for some (but not all) suites. I think how we best leverage this can be a discussion point for next week's DTS meeting.
