Firmware Test Suite - bios_info
The bios_info 'test' just gathers some pertinent BIOS DMI information to allow one to identify a machine. When running fwts and specifying no tests then this test is run very early to log the machine details in the output log, thus allowing one to keep track of the test against a specific machine.
Example output:
