Hi Wiggins,
So I had had an initial look at POE and I have fair idea of how my
components might talking to each other. But before I decide to implement
it using POE, I have some more questions, please see it inline below.

Pausing a regression should be fairly trivial, just sending an event
indicating a pause should work. The more difficult part to this is that
you have to write two interfaces that generate that event, specifically
the one caused by the failure *and* the human interactive one (which is
the harder).
I am not yet clear as to, should I implement my tests also in POE environment.
As I understand, POE is co-operative multitasking system. And it wouldn't be
advisable for my test scripts to run in loops for long time, which might
quite a possibility.
So the questions are:
Do I have to have some other mechanism to convey the test scripts to
stop/pause/continue.
In this case there is clear cut boundary between regeression framework and
actual
test scripts, which ideally should be.
Or
Does POE provides some solution over this problem as well? I looked at function
like yield and fixed sleep, but I am not sure whether I should be using any of
them
or there is still something better.
Is it good idea to use POE for test scripts, just for the sake of having easy
implementation
of stop/pause/continue feature?
Thanks a lot for all the help.
Regards,
Manish
