Automatically testing workstations

Under the topic of testing workstations, going on right now, it was noted that the new BTL workstation tests are predominantly manual, and thus slow and not inexpensive.

Klaus W. put forward an intriguing idea of defining some kind of standardized interface that would allow a machine (future version of BACnet Test Framework, BTF?) to have an operator-like interface into the workstation so that one does not need to have the tester operate mouse and keyboard, and read the displays, to perform the tests. His concept is similar to the automobile testing interface.
