+## Case Name: check-soc-power-status
+## Preconditions:
+##    Intel SoCwatch tool must be installed on the device
+## Description:
+##    Run the socwatch command to check SoC power status
+## Test steps:
+##    1. load socwatch kernel module
+##    2. run socwatch command with desired parameters
+##    3. check return value from socwatch
+##    4. collect logs
+##    5. check dmesg errors
+##    6. unload socwatch kernel module
+## Expect result:
+##    consistent power status across tests
+##    check kernel log and find no errors
+##
