What is BMC?

We have implemented our own (still hacky) device type using our own bootloader. See the attached Jinja2 template.

Okay, we do not use fastboot. So I assume I have to add a test action for the first part, then a boot action to handle the reboot, and then add another test action for the latter part. Would that work?

As I described it above: using a watchdog. This is actually a test whether the watchdog service works correctly. I activate the watchdog, make it trigger a reboot and need to check whether this reboot actually happens. Is there a way to achieve this?
