Hi Daniel,
Looking at the software you described it seems a wonderful tool for humans
to create, execute test steps and analyse test results entered manually by
a human.

What we are looking for is only the "data store" and visual representation
of such, where automated tests are run by robots. Those (self-hosted or
propietary) robots need to publish their test results somewhere using a web
API.

Does SystemTestPortal support input from robots over for example REST API?
Does it support the idea of different products/configurations?

Regards,
Patrick
