no problem.

One thing that would be nice but isn't required:

in results.log when a test is reported on the report starts with the
test description:


Check sane DMA Remapping (VT-d).
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Test 1 of 1: Check DMA Remapping.
FAILED [MEDIUM] DevScopeDevNotFound: Test 1, Device scope device not found.
PASSED: Test 1, Found no DMAR errors in kernel log.

====================================================================================================
1 passed, 1 failed, 0 warnings, 0 aborted, 0 skipped, 0 info only.
====================================================================================================


What I think would be nice is if in results.log it started out with the
test name before the description, or at least included it *somewhere* so
if it fails you can grep for it and find the reasons, kind of like:


dmar - Check sane DMA Remapping (VT-d).
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Test 1 of 1: Check DMA Remapping.
FAILED [MEDIUM] DevScopeDevNotFound: Test 1, Device scope device not found.
PASSED: Test 1, Found no DMAR errors in kernel log.

====================================================================================================
1 passed, 1 failed, 0 warnings, 0 aborted, 0 skipped, 0 info only.
====================================================================================================

otherwise if you aren't really familiar with what the test does and
you've run fwts with a lot of tests you have to review the order you
passed the tests to fwts in and then count through all the tests reports
in results.log to find the output you're looking for.
