I think it is very important to have the *number *of tests in error in the notification sent after every build. I have added this functionality in my project. So i can submit the changes. But a few things :
Why is it required - Because, currently the mail gives a wrong sense of success rate in tests where as there may be a good number of tests in error. Even though, ppl can go and check the online report, having the summary in the mails is important. Was there any reason behind excluding test errors? We can also add a success rate of tests to the velocity template. Can we add this also? as far as I know, there is no way to display Tests in error and the exception stacktrace in the mail. Should we add this? If yes, i can look at this as the next step. If everybody is fine about adding this, then I think i should follow the steps: 1) create a Jira issue 2) submit the changes - a) ReportTestResult.java, b) common.vm and c) A unit test for this Pls let me know what you think.
