Hello Sakar, SBBR spec is not published by UEFI Forum and can be considered as a supplement to ARM UEFI. The evolution of edk2-test/uefi-sct should be tagged to UEFI Spec only. Can we land SBBR test on standalone space under edk2-test currently or in short-term? I mean SBBR test can leverage edk2-test/uefi-sct (as sub-module)or not to build test efi files itself and these test efi files can be integrated into UEFI SCT to execute with user usage.
For the new attributes - SBBR and SBBR_EXCL, I agree with Supreeth that they are more like the additional parameters. So they are not the similar cases to (AUTO, MANUAL, DESTRUCTIVE, or RESET_REQUIRED). If the intention is to distinguish SBBR test from existing test, It can be implemented with "-s" parameter plus the SBBR test sequence easily. Above is my quick response and I will continue to consider it these days and look at SBBR spec. Any input is welcome.

However, Why do we need two additional parameters SBBR and SBBR_EXCL? Since SBBR is a subset/superset of UEFI specifications, would "sbbr_standalone" or similar (just sbbr) which would run all the sbbr tests including ones that is already part of UEFI-SCT Suffice? Lets wait for additional comments from Eric.

This is the SBBR specification link for reference http://infocenter.arm.com/help/topic/com.arm.doc.den0044c/Server_Base_Boot_Requirements_v1_1_Arm_DEN_0044C.pdf Majority of SBBR requirements can be tested by current SCT code as is. A few more SBBR specific tests are needed to cover complete spec. Proposal --> An ideal setup is new SBBR specific code residing in edk2-test master. SCT test infrastructure will run tests for UEFI spec compliance or just SBBR spec compliance based on command line arguments. This would require run time classification of tests. - Details Each SCT test provides a list of sub-tests to verify various aspects of the requirement. Each sub-test is assigned some attributes (AUTO, MANUAL, DESTRUCTIVE, or RESET_REQUIRED) which are referred to by the test infrastructure to do pre and post processing for it. The proposal is to add 2 new attributes SBBR and SBBR_EXCL to the existing set. The test infrastructure will decide whether to run or skip a test based on command line parameters and these new attributes. - The new attributes SBBR : Tests with this attribute are required by both SBBR and UEFI. SBBR_EXCL : Tests with this attribute are required by SBBR exclusively. - Examples Shell> Sct.efi -a -sbbr Would run tests required by SBBR, i.e., tests with attributes SBBR or SBBR_EXCL. Shell> Sct.efi -a Would run tests required by UEFI, i.e., all tests excluding those with attribute SBBR_EXCL. - SCT test pre-processing flow The following logic will be added to the pre-processing flow. If (SCT_FOR_SBBR) { If (!TEST_CASE_FOR_SBBR(TestCaseAttribute)) goto SkipTest; } else { If (TEST_CASE_FOR_SBBR_EXCL(TestCaseAttribute)) goto SkipTest; } Comments are welcome.
