The idea is not to rewrite the tests in Java but to improve how we interact
with the tests and display results. The new service/agent should not be
responsible for testing but to invoke the execution of the requested tests.
This new service, lets say for example 'marvin agent' will simply receive which
tests are needed to run and invoke them the same way as before. Then, it could
use the information in the logs for individual tests to retrieve back the
results to the management server. I imagine it could work similarly to the VR
healths checks functionality

Sorry all, I don't agree - the thing being tested shouldn't be responsible for
testing (unless it's a well-defined limited set of self-testing features, for
example a set of sanity/intergrity checks).
Unless we're saying the service/feature is used to run tests for other
(nested?) CloudStack environments. The other issue is (and unless the idea is
to re-write tests in Java) most tests are written in Python, so the CloudStack
plugin/service would still fork and need to run Python tests somehow (directly
or via a runner such as nose) or explore use of Jython or Python on JVM (which
may make it complex).
Regards.

+1, added my thoughts in the ticket. This can ease/reduce the Dev & QA testing
efforts. Also, it's good to see the testing results in the UI itself.
