Since the BTest tests don't depend on Bro at all, it's probably best to set up a new job that polls the btest master branch for changes directly and then runs the test suite.

For BroControl tests, I think maybe it should be in a new job that's triggered from the UpdateRepos job (alongside the Compile* jobs).

Another way.

Makes sense.  Does that still show "skipped" tests?  I think that may have been a reason for the more verbose output -- I wanted to know whether tests were passing versus just being skipped.

> Maybe be could create separate target "jenkins" for running the tests there?

Don't think we need something like that.

Did you want to play around with making changes to the Jenkins config?  Else I'll try to get BroControl/BTest stuff added sometime this week.
