I think you could use command.ShellCommandTest, taking advantage of the
fact that all context variables are available in the environment for the
child process.

For example, suppose your working directory is in:

  /path/to/dir

Then, you could do:

  qmtest run -c root=/path/to/dir

and use a command.ShellCommandTest that looks like:

  ${QMV_root}/bin/my_program arg1 arg2 arg3

There will be a new version of QMTest ready in a week or so with a
number of minor bug fixes and improvements.

Thanks for trying QMTest!
