Using DejaGnu in a regression farm

[Sean Cavanaugh]

Hello,

I'm looking at using DejaGnu to help automate a regression testing farm. We 
plan to have a number of boards connected to the test computer via serial and 
network, and will be testing the Board Support Packages we're developing 
(including testing everything from the Linux kernel to userland applications).

>From what I have seen over the last few days of working with it, it seems like

Has anyone done something like this?  Is it (not) a good idea? If we do go 
ahead with this, is it something the DejaGnu community would like to see 
contributed back to the project?

Thanks for any input.
