Comment #4 on issue 498 by DeonWu: Loading tests and resources from zip files
http://code.google.com/p/robotframework/issues/detail?id=498
Our html file is parsed by robot and created full text index. If Robot support run zip file, It's easy to filter test cases by TAG or long name to archived as execution plan. then It need not to parse thousands of test case every time. It can improve the loading performance.
That's other benefit, the test case is pre-processed before really running, It can fix some parsing error or syntax warning. We can replaced the deprecated keywords in exporting test case to archive file.
In my opinion, the robot support loading test case from ZIP, It can drive some other useful practice to improve testing process.
