I like the context view feature of JBehave. I mean the LocalFrameContextView.
You see what actually happens. But very few information are displayed. Here are some ideas what could be displayed additionally to scenario and step data: * which story is running * how many stories, scenarios and steps succeeded and failed * the time when execution started * how many stories, scenarios and steps need to be executed The window would be a bit larger for that, but not too large I think. One could choose a mini window with few information and a larger window wil more information. In a far future remote monitoring feature could be added so that you don't need to connect to the computer who runs the JBehave tests but can monitor the execution from another PC, seeing the information in a window. That sounds like a lot of work. But it could be done incrementally. For instance displaying that no error or an error occured in the context view would be easy to do, for instance by using red color for the view if an error occured. This would require a new callback method in the context view for passing the status. What do you think?
