How to handle OEs when using simulators in ACVTS testing

The CAVP FAQ Document in section GEN.12 outlines the requirements for specifying implementations and operating environments on validations which required testing in a simulator.

The requirement that the implementation be of type "firmware" still stands and is straightforward on ACVTS.

Regarding the OE, please use the following format for specifying the operating environment when a simulator was used in testing.

{
    "name": "Sample Hardware Simulator ABC",
    "dependencies": [
        {
            "name": "Sample Hardware Simulator ABC ",
            "type": "Firmware",
            "description": "A short description of the Sample Hardware Simulator ABC"
        }
    ]
}
