Definitely Mike, The text ones will be retained at any cost. The only difference will be that a new parser will create an HTML/XML file and put the formatted output in the same directory(s) along with the output. New format can also have some features like: 1) Background highlighting for WARNINGS, 2) Background highlighting for FAIL, 3) Background highlighting for BROK, 4) Sorted testcase(s) for FAILED output, 5) Serial No.s in which tests were executed, etc You can also suggest ways that you think can add more value. --Subrata-- > > Mike Melendez > Software Test Lead > SiCortex > Maynard, MA > > Subrata Modak wrote: > > On Thu, 2007-09-20 at 00:11 -0300, Ricardo Salveti de Araujo wrote: > > > >>On Monday 17 September 2007 11:28:08 Subrata Modak wrote: > >>But my question is, do we really need to have a parser to geneate kind of a > >>HTML file?
