wouldn't this be fixed by adding this line:

"dependsOn" : "command -v jq >/dev/null"

to test scenarios 39b4 and e8a1 ? I'm asking this because jq is used
also in verifyCmd after the script, to parse results.
Background for this question: I see tdc skipping both setup and
teardown stages for each test case in taprio.json where this line:

     "dependsOn": "command -v ciao >/dev/null",

is present. Rather than doing a setup +  silent teardown, just do
nothing and go to the next test.

no objections, but I'm curious to see if "dependsOn" would fix this case :)
thanks!
