Hi Shaun,

AFAIK vcltesttoolglue is only designed to give automated testers an easy
to interpret overview and display of testtool results (offline and
local) and wasn't developed as an approach to create an interface
between a web-application and testtool. Best would be TBO states hist
tooling....I will ask him to do so.

It was decided to switch to SVN and it is expected this summer. Further
details are not known to me...

Of course...the possibility to upload offline results must be given. The
results are already stored locally. In the future the path where the
results should be stored is configurable in testtool environment.

No, it is not similar. The bas-file is the autotest as a whole. It
contains the include-files which again holds the testcases.
An autotest has been passed if all testcases in include-files belong to
this test are fine.

Please explain to me what you mean ? What I meant with comparing MWS and
CWS results is:
Assume we have a CWS with some bugfixes that have to be verified. This
can be done by running some automated tests on this CWS. For example: To
avoid regression after integration of a CWS (based e.g. on a MWS with
minor m200) you have to assure that all results created by autotests in
CWS are the same or better on MWS (based on Minor m200). So you have to
run autotests on both CWS and MWS.

Please attend that meanwhile another project called 'OpenTCM' was
announced on this list. They are checking if it is possible to do an
implementation of automated tests also. Feedback from Petr Dudacheck is
pending
