teststeps: Improvements and bugfixing of teststeps
This patch introduces several improvements and small bugfixes of teststeps. These changes were identified during implementation of OVS/DPDK regression tests. Patch content: * teststeps: step aliases were implemented * teststeps: improved filtering by regex for any step, which returns string or list of stings; filter will process all lines * teststeps: support for log object * teststeps: support for trafficgen get_results call * teststeps: configurable suppression of step validation * trafficgen: remove old results before traffic is executed * trafficgen: support for flow control on/off (IxNet) * trafficgen: support for configurable learning frames (IxNet) * trafficgen: support for runtime changes of TRAFFICGEN_PKT_SIZES, _DURATION and _LOSSRATE * vnf: flush pexpect output of previous commands * vnf: use execute_and_wait() to ensure correct cmds order * vnf: dpdk vHost User interface name set according to its type, e.g. dpdkvhostuserclient * vswitch: support for OVS restart * decap: simplify configuration of tunneling decapsulation tests * settings: values of all configuration options are restored after TC execution * modified formatting of test description used by --list * testcase name and description is logged before its execution * small bugfixes JIRA: VSPERF-539 Change-Id: I550ba0d897ece89abd3f33d6d66f545c4d863e7b Signed-off-by: Martin Klozik <martinx.klozik@intel.com> Reviewed-by: Al Morton <acmorton@att.com> Reviewed-by: Christian Trautman <ctrautma@redhat.com> Reviewed-by: Sridhar Rao <sridhar.rao@spirent.com> Reviewed-by: Trevor Cooper <trevor.cooper@intel.com>
