I don't like having to wait till all my tests ran to know whether that
one test that previously failed is now working. Such feedback can
of course be quickly hacked into SUnit by having it print
information on the progress of the tests on the Transcript, but I'd
like this to be done with some more "eye candy". When pressing
'run', the UI should show a list of tests it is going to run. Green
checkmarks or red crosses should appear next to the names of the
tests as they are ran. Clicking a red cross should also bring up the
debugger for that test case.

    Thanks for your comment. You didn't mention which Smalltalk
    dialect you're using. A number of them support this
    functionality already, and there are quite a number of add-
    ons around. Because of this, we've just decided to drop
    working on the TestRunner in future versions, and
    concentrate on base-level functionality. Give me some more
    info, though, and I'll see how we can help you.

    Cheers, Joseph

    Woops, I had no idea. I'm using VW 7.2, is it in there as well?
