Description
With the PR https://github.com/lowRISC/ot-sca/pull/95, we can now load histograms and use them for general test. This is done automatically when a PR is created but it does not cover all functionality of the tvla.py script. We should also add an automatic test which gets power measurements, computes their t-values and compares with the expected values.
In addition there may be some other functionalities of the tvla.py script that may be tested. Maybe @vrozic, @vogelpi and @andreaskurth has some ideas?

Research direction
Start by reading tvla.py and PR #95 to understand the existing histogram-loading tests and CI path. Trace how power measurements are loaded and t-values are computed, then define expected-value checks and verify the automatic test covers the stated functionality; review the remaining tvla.py behavior for additional test cases.
