Where/How? No. > * Do you have plans to support this notion? Sounds like a good idea. You could implement this by extending the existing TestRunner. Make it look if a given test can() the "additionalInfo()" method (just for example), and if yes, call it to get the additional info. Then subclass TestCase to make a new base class TestCaseInfo that contains the necessary stuff for maintaining and printing the Info you need, and make all your tests inherit from TestCaseInfo. Now you can get what you want by running your tests with the extended TestRunner. > * If you think this is an important feature but don't > have the time to do it your self would you like me > to develop it? Yes, definitively. This would be very welcome, as I think this looks like a common requirement on larger projects. Thanks for the offer!
