Michael,
You might want to look at some of the work on the Pugs test suite.
http://m19s28.vlinux.de/cgi-bin/pugs-smokeserv.pl
It uses (among other things) Test::TAP::Model and
Test::TAP::HTMLMatrix, and uses YAML as an intermediate test-run
format.
Actually, Test::TAP::HTMLMatrix is what I currently use for test
reports that
get emailed to developers. I definitely plan to continue using it.
Also, seeing the pugs smoke server demoed as part of Atrijus's
YAPC::NA
presentation also gave me some ideas along these lines. I would
like to take all
of your good ideas (I know, I'm a thief) and create a standalone
application
that any project could use.
Ah, these are not my ideas, so steal away ;)
Do you still think that YAML is a good intermediate format choice?
Do you think
an integration with other standard utilities to produce YAML would
be possible
(prove, etc)?
Actually, you should contact Yuval Kogman (aka nothingmuch) (aka -
the author of Test::TAP::*) about these questions (you could also
check irc.freenode.net #perl6, people there might be able to help).
But I really just gave general encouragement and occasional
suggestions to this project, so I am not equipped to answer your
questions.
All that said, what you are talking about does sound quite
interesting :)
