Touch hardware validation framework

Opens to close
=========

Should we integrate with plainbox?
If integrating with plainbox, how do we integrate with the framework and still allow porters to run just the hw validation part?
How do we deliver the framework to the target devices? i.e.; click
Should we run with a host connected or completely isolated? Host connected would be interesting for porting/dev phase;
If integrating with plainbox, what's the ETA and do we need to create an interim small runner?

Should we think of extending to device testing in the future? Contrary to just hardware validation.

Meeting notes
=========

Tests:
 * In general, all tests should be automated, but we may need some manual tests
  * CTS is fully automated, run from the host

Packaging
 * 1 click package with everything, or several click packages
