So, we have three tests to create: 1) Displays - I agree that in this case it is equivalent to DP 2) TB Storage 3) Ability to put a TB storage device connected to the TB monitor, which is connected to the system. > > The only exception is the daisy-chain test which should IMHO follow > our dependency step process where we ask the user to setup a > particular configuration before doing a off-the-mill storage test. Exactly, that's the exception, but that's a test that we need to create, and only offer to those systems that have a TB port. That's why we need to identify those TB (by asking the user), just because of the daisy chain one, but that's enough to have the test. Specially because we have just 1 TB monitor, so imagine that you are testing a system (from a pile that you need to test) and you don't realize it is a TB one: 1) You start testing 2) Checkbox thinks is a DP, so asks you to plug a DP monitor 3) You do it 4) Then it asks you to do daisy chain, if you have a TB port, and then you realize it is actually a TB one, so you need to remove that monitor and go and get the TB one. This wastes time. I think we should ask the user whether this is a TB system, and do it at the very beginning of the run. Thoughts? Ara. > > Thunderbolt is display port.
