The option --scantest was provided to give users insight on what tests can be
conducted for software and system packages based on what is installed in your system.
buildtest will search repository BUILDTEST_CONFIGS_REPO and see if there are
any yaml files for software stack based on value provided by $BUILDTEST_MODULE_ROOT
buildtest will also check for system packages installed in your system and check the repository BUILDTEST_CONFIGS_REPO for any system package yaml configuration.
Shown below is an output of --scantest which will give you idea what you can
test.
