#46 Enhanced Browsing

[Roy]

Clicking the Browse button in the MFC TestRunner brings
up the Test Hierarchy dialog. The Test Hierarchy
dialog has a tree control, and only a single node can
be selected at a time. How about adding checkboxes to
the tree control for more finescale selection
capabilities?

What I would like to be able to do is select some
subset of the available leaves in a branch and run only
those tests, as opposed to 1) selecting the branch and
running all of the tests under it or 2) selecting an
individual test. Adding checkboxes would allow this,
as well as other things, such as running a subset of
the tests in several branches.

I'm currently running version 1.10.2 of cppunit.

I'm thinking about this for a while now, not for the MFC
runner but for the QtTestRunner which I've ported to Qt4
(without any dependencies to Qt3) in the last days and will
release it as a patch in the next few days.
I'm not too happy with this approach either since I'd prefer
something similar to NUnit or csUnit where one doesn't have
to open a dialog but can select the tests in a separate tab
or even better I'd have the test selection and test run
statistics in one (splitter) window visible together all time.
