Description

The problem you're addressing (if any)

Most tests are much much faster to do via SSH than via serial.
It's optimal to run as many via SSH as possible, and then use serial console to run the rest.

Describe the solution you'd like

Some way to automaticaly differentiate serial only and possible to do via ssh tests, so that by choosing a tag -i <tag_name> when running RF the tester could select only tests runnable via SSH or only tests that have to be run with a serial console

Where is the value to a user, and who might that user be?

Reduce unnecessary test runs, make it easier to run tests to testers. In practice it will reduce the time spent on testing as the tester can either spend some time and list all tests they want to run or run all supported tests. Both cases waste time on either unnecessary planning or redundant test runs.
