The feedback identifies a syntax error in one of the command-line examples due to an unmatched trailing double quote.

| ## Running Tests: Method 1 (CI Meta Runner - Recommended) |
Contributor

should we recommend this? local.py is optimized to "run all tests" but this also means the build-apps will build a lot of things.

In my opinion this is the nicest way (once things are setup) as it runs what CI does!
You can always use --test-filter {test_name} to filter things out

should we mention the possibility of multiple runs? we may want to ask the user which run if more exists (or run all, which may need to run more applications.

I believe there's also a --app-filter if I remember correctly? That enables you to filter by both test name and app name.
For example, if you want to run all of the FAN tests only against the all-devices-app you could do something like --test-filter TC_FAN --app-filter ALL_DEVICES
Need to check if this still works

Could probably teach it to run device basic composition tests and device conformance tests.

Could also teach it to collect a data model dump by running the TC_IDM test that generates the files.
