Hi Richard,
I have been thinking about package that would have some global signaling events – such as

signal TestDone : integer_barrier;
signal  ResetDone : integer_barrier;

We could add something like:
signal TestErrorCount : integer ;

The idea is that if all tests had access to something like this, then it could be picked up automatically by the OSVVM scripts. I suspect that all simulators provide a mechanism to read signal values. It may also be nice to return the test name, although I suspect we already know it in the scripts. If you look at OSVVM scripts, this is something that could be added to the simulate procedure.

I have been wondering how to get this information into a format for the CI tools.

Best Regards,
Jim
