[Etester-devel] Etester 2.1 update

[<dm...@cs...>]

ETester 2.1 is nearly complete.  

Test Fixtures
-------------

Setup and Teardown have been fully implemented and are quite easy to use. 
Subclasses of UNIT_TEST can simply redefine setup and teardown (currently simple
skip procedures) to create a sequence of events that will be executed before and
after every test case.  See http://junit.sourceforge.net/doc/faq/faq.htm#tests_2
for test fixture details.

Large Font Support
------------------

After wrestling with the to_html functionality to extend it to support large
font, I have given up on this feature until I implement to_xml.  Then, html
output will become obsolete as we can use XSLT, or native GUI components to
represent the data as we see fit.  The GOBO xml parser will be used to implement
this functionality.  This may cause some complexity in ACE files, though. 
Feedback would be appreciated.

to_html in UNIT_TEST
--------------------

I have taken out to_html in UNIT_TEST, as I believe it should be mandatory to
create a TEST_SUITE to run the tests.  To that effect, I have created a
TEST_SUITE generator which will automatically create a SUITE class.

I will update the cvs code tonight and hopefully we can test out these changes
before I release them as 2.1

Cheers,

DM
