This already happens. The output of all tests is collected by a collector (dotest) program, and is then optionally submitted to a db. This because one can't require a db connection because the testsuite must also run on embedded targets. Note that this infrastructure has to persist anyway for all tests that somehow have a global effect on the program (so that you can't combine multiple ones in a program), or even fail to compile/start. _______________________________________________ fpc-devel maillist - fpc-devel@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-devel
