Stand equipment example

This example demonstrates how to document test bench equipment using the set_instrument() function in pytest-hardpy. The example shows how to record instruments that are part of the test setup.

How to start

1. Launch hardpy init test_stand_equipment.
2. Launch CouchDB instance.
3. Launch hardpy run test_stand_equipment.

Description

The Instrument class and set_instrument() function allow documenting all equipment that forms part of the test bench setup. This information is stored in the database. Information about using of the function set_instrument and class Instrument
