Hello all, I'm in the planning stages for a project (brief planning notes http://examples.petersfamily.org/smolder.html if interested) that will be used to collect test reports for project and make them viewable on the web.
I want to change as little about the way they run their tests, but still be able to collect all of the needed data. I thought about using prove with --verbose, and have the users pipe that into a file. But it's not quite TAP since it changes the plan line and outputs aggregate results at the end. My other idea was to create an XML version of TAP (probably as a micro-format (http://www.xml.com/pub/a/2005/03/23/deviant.html,http://www.microformats.org/) so that it's still viewable in a browser. TAML? While I want to avoid creating yet-another-xml-language, XML seems like a good solution for sharing and storing smoke test results. Another reason to use something wrapped around TAP would be to collect other information that TAP does not provide, like platform, date and time run, time to completely run, and if applicable developer name. Does any of this seem reasonable? Overkill? Already done? Thanks, -- Michael Peters Developer Plus Three, LP
