JUnit Report suggestion

Hi

I had posted on the forum (see thread http://www.eviware.com/component/option ... opic,901.0) about problems I had with the JUnit reporting with data driven functional tests.

I wonder if you might consider some of these features in a future release ...
- Enable individual test steps to be reported on the JUnit report
- Let the user choose which test steps they want to see on the report.
- Let the user choose whether to show the request / response in the failed JUnits. If the request / responses are too large, they sometimes end up making the JUnit output unreadable.
- Force the user to provide a meaningful English description of each assertion. If the test step fails due to assertion failures, log the English description in the Junit report.
- Let the user choose any property values (global test suite / test case / test step properties) they want to see on the report. All such properties can then be added to the "SYSOUT" section of the JUnit report.

I didn't do the "let the user choose" parts, but I ended up creating a custom listener so I could get a more useful JUnit output for my QA Team / Business users. Unfortunately, my custom listener is not at all generic , but I thought these reporting features probably will be helpful to other users as well.

Thanks
Mahesh
