Hi Stephen,
FWIW, this violates the original design of the test system. Turning the board off at the end of the test is a policy decision that not all use-cases will want,
Wasn't aware that powering OFF the board would not be a preferred choice for certain test cases. Executing python test cases on sandbox or Beaglebone Black with this power-off feature, did not cause me any issues.So,thought this would be a 'good to use' feature in the python test framework.Hence,this patch.
As recommended , will use this power-off outside the pytest environment.
Thanks , Adarsh

After executing the test-cases from pytest ,the board is still powered.Shutting down the board power supply at this point ,would keep the board safe.
FWIW, this violates the original design of the test system. Turning the board off at the end of the test is a policy decision that not all use-cases will want, and hence not something that the test system should mandate. Instead, the intention is for the user to invoke the test system using a script that does something like:
- Power on board.
- Run test.
- Power off board.
