  o GitHub Actions
  o GitLab CI/CD
• Configure self-hosted runners on physical test racks.
• Implement commit-based, scheduled, and manual test triggers.
• Enable parallel test execution with intelligent resource locking.
• Manage artifacts including logs, reports, diagnostic data, and execution summaries.
• Implement automated environment cleanup and lifecycle management.

1. Test Framework Enhancements

• Extend the OTA Framework with CI/CD-driven capabilities.
• Integrate pipeline execution with the three-phase workflow (Precondition → Action → Postcondition).
• Develop automated results of aggregation scripts and multi-run success tracking.
• Implement reporting pipelines for HTML reports, CSV summaries, and diagnostic outputs.

1. Integration & Monitoring

• Integrate pipelines with JIRA and TestRail for automated result updates.
• Implement system health checks, environment validation, and execution monitoring tools.

1. Python Scripting & Automation Utilities

• Develop Python utilities for configuration management, log parsing, diagnostics,
  and artifact cleanup.
• Create helper modules to support CI/CD orchestration.
