Latka does allow parameterization of tests via preprocessing of the test
suite document. It goes like this
>From test-suite.xml
<suite defaultHost="${DEFAULT_HOST}"
defaultPort="80"
label="foo">
then on the command line
$ latka.sh <test-suite-url> prop:DEFAULT_HOST=foo.example.com
While this topic is up could someone commit my documentation patch for
latka? It's still useful to the current alpha release even though it appears
that Morgan is removing XML parsing support from latka, and replacing it
with Jelly.
