Yes.

For kuya/QEMU, it builds a image which executes tests upon launch:

    https://svnweb.freebsd.org/base/user/jmmv/autotest/node/iterate.sh?view=markup&pathrev=271564#l154

and mounts the image to extract results:

   https://svnweb.freebsd.org/base/user/jmmv/autotest/node/iterate.sh?view=markup&pathrev=271564#l284

For bhyve, it uses expect-like library to login and executes tests

    https://github.com/freebsd/freebsd-ci/blob/master/scripts/test/run-tests.py

it also extracts log from image by mounting VM image:

    https://github.com/freebsd/freebsd-ci/blob/master/scripts/test/extract-test-logs.py

It would be more awesome if we can have everything automate to create
test VM from an unmodifed image, just like what we put to
release/snapshot, setup test env, and run tests on them, then extracting
results.  I think expect solution is good for this.  And I am interested
to know if there is any other approache.
