Running test packages in Using TestDriver

Test Driver allows you to run test packages. This is useful if you need to run tests independently of building them.

A test package is a zip file containing tests, their dependencies and the XML files which describe them, see Building test packages.

The command line for running a test package is:

> testdriver run [--tp package] [-t transport] [-a architecture]

The parameters are the same as for running a suite, except the -s option is replaced with a --tp (test package) argument. This value will be a path to a test package (.tpkg).

`--tp`	This is mandatory, and is used to specify the test package which is to be run, including the full directory path and the file name. An example of using the `--tp` option is: `--tp \\<drive_name>\packages\CtsPackage.tpkg`.
`-t`	This is optional, and is used to specify the mode of transport for communicating with the device. Options are `serial1`, `serial2` or `tcp`. The default option is set to `serial1`. At present, only serial and TCP/IP transport modes have been tested - how to set these up is described in Communicating with the device.
`-a`	This is optional, and is used for defining the application specific software product (ASSP) architecture if required. An example command line to build the suite is: `> testdriver run -p arm4 -b urel -s testsuite1.testsuite3`
`-h`	This is optional, and is used for displaying help information.

An example of how to run a test package is shown below:

> testdriver run -p arm4 -b urel --tp \\<drive_name>\packages\CtsPackage.tpkg -t serial2
