Items on my wish-list: - make it easy to run the test framework and clients on a seperate machine from the database server - keep results in a database - provide a front-end to allow users to schedule tests in a queue - add support for windows, at least for the database (theoretically possible to run that way now, but you have to do everything by hand) Another idea: afaik, spikesource is still offering a bounty for improvements to OSS test suites, something that'd fit well with SoC. -- Jim C.
